Résumé de l'auteur
[Source : brochure] "In “As If We Aren’t Human,” Human Rights Watch examines the experiences of women who had disabilities before the war as well as women who acquired their disabilities as a result of the conflict, from landmines, gunshot wounds, mutilation, and fire. Women with disabilities experience stigma and isolation, sexual and gender-based violence, and obstacles to accessing justice. They also lack equal access to care in rehabilitation, maternal health, family planning, and reproductive health, including HIV testing, treatment and prevention."
Commentaire du Centre Ressources
This report is published by Human Rights Watch, a Human Rights NGO. The researchers associated different stakeholders in her investigation inquiry and interviewed concerned people. This report condemns the violation of the disabled women rights in Uganda, and therefore takes root in the articles 6 (women with disabilities) and 16 (Right of not being submitted to exploitation, violence and abuse). ). This report focuses on duplicable recommendations in other countries which may interest the NGOs for their statement, as well as families, professionals and decision makers.
