"an invaluable tool for practitioners committed to bringing an end to discrimination against children with disabilities"—Yanghee Lee, Chair of Committee on the Rights of the Child
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities represents the culmination of years of advocacy by the disability community in their struggle for recognition of their rights.
See Me, Hear Me is the first book to look at how this Convention can be used to support disabled children, alongside the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This guide’s analysis of the inter-relationship of the two Conventions, together with practical guidance on advocacy strategies and illustrations of good practice, make it an invaluable tool for child and disability rights advocates.
It is also an essential resource for governments in interpreting and implementing the two Conventions.
Author Gerison Lansdown is an international children’s rights consultant and has published and lectured widely on the subject of children’s rights, both nationally and internationally.
