Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 18
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Many policies operate on the assumption that a disabling condition is pathological and a defect, and not a socially ascribed so-called deficit. The impact of such a perspective is clear: persons with disabilities are to be avoided and/or excluded, as opposed to accommodated and included in the community. According to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, accommodation, inclusion and support are the obligated responses to disability, including for families of persons with disabilities.
