Abstract:
Human rights are rights inherent in every individual as a gift from God Almighty, which must be respected, protected and fulfilled by the state. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an international treaty that aims to promote, protect and guarantee the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities. This research aims to increase awareness and understanding of the rights of persons with intellectual disabilities, particularly in ensuring access to a fair trial in accordance with the principles of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This research uses a normative juridical method by analyzing international and national laws and regulations related to the implementation of the CRPD in ensuring the right to a fair trial for persons with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that although Indonesia has ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), its implementation in the judiciary is still constrained by the lack of understanding of legal officials, limited facilities, bias against the right to testimony of persons with disabilities, and weak enforcement of regulations.

Abstract:
<p><em>Persons with disabilities are vulnerable group and would be found anywhere in any situation. They become refugees since their conditions of persecution and they should leave out from their country. Unfortunately, the problem occured when persons with mental disabilities could not indicate their well-founded fear as stated in the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees. Regarding the problem, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) may be the answer to settle the problem since CRPD is the human rights approach to disability and recognizes the right of persons with disabilities to equality in most aspects of life. From CRPD, refugees with disabilities can show a well-founded fear thus giving a hope for them in obtaining refugee status and gaining access equivalent to refugees in general. UNHCR uses the CRPD as a reference in carrying out the responsibilities and commitments for the rights of refugees with disabilities.</em></p>

Abstract:
This article analyses how disability human rights protections and processes under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (crpd) have responded to the heightened vulnerability created when disability intersects with indigeneity. It considers the evolution of international human rights law instruments for indigenous persons with disabilities. It further examines the drafting history of the crpd related to indigenous-specific content and examines the crpd Committee’s engagement with the human rights protections and violations of indigenous persons with disabilities. It demonstrates that the crpd Committee has advanced these rights by acknowledging the rights of indigenous persons in the general course of its work, but has fallen short of adequately recognising the special vulnerabilities that are created when disability and indigeneity intersect. This evaluation is illustrated by expounding on the crpd Committee’s recommendation in Noble v Australia, a communication brought by an indigenous person with a ‘mental and intellectual disability’ whose indigenous status was not engaged.

This article argues that it is not possible to interpret or apply the International Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with Disabilities (Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities or CRPD) and its related Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities without drawing on the texts of other human rights treaties and the related jurisprudence of their judicial or quasi-judicial supervisory bodies. Conversely, it is not possible to supervise the implementation of other human rights treaties, where persons with disabilities are concerned, without drawing on the text of the CRPD and related interpretative conclusions of the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD Committee).

Abstract:
Equality and non-discrimination before the law are fundamental human rights principles enshrined in both international and regional human rights instruments. However, earlier human rights instruments did not expressly protect persons with disabilities from discrimination and, therefore, they were regarded as objects of charity, rather than subjects of human rights. Through the years, the law has developed to provide better protection for persons with disabilities, culminating in the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD). Article 12 of the CRPD provides for the right to equal recognition before the law for persons with disabilities which entails the right to legal capacity. This provision reflects a long established and non-derogable human rights principle also enshrined, for example, in article 16, as read together with article 4 (2), of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Despite the significant development of legal protection, the implementation of the right to legal capacity for persons with disabilities leaves a lot to be desired. Many jurisdictions conflate legal capacity with mental capacity, the latter of which is a controversial concept. Persons with disabilities are denied the right to make personal decisions and to participate in judicial proceedings, on the basis that they lack the requisite mental capacity. Such denial of the right to make decisions constitutes a violation of the long established and non-derogable right to legal capacity enshrined in article 12 of the CRPD. The paper discusses the implementation of article 12 of the CRPD in Kenya. It examines the conflation of legal capacity and mental capacity for persons with disabilities and interrogates the approaches employed in the determination of mental capacity. Furthermore, the paper examines different Acts of Parliament in Kenya and discusses their level of compliance with article 12 of the CRPD.

Abstract:
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) came into force in 2008. People with disabilities, including people with psychosocial disabilities, were instrumental to its development. Article 12 and Article 14 of the CRPD, which respectively affirm the universal legal capacity and right to liberty of persons with disabilities, were viewed as key victories by disability rights movements. These provisions are particularly important for people with psychosocial disabilities who are routinely subjected to human rights violations through psychiatric detainment and involuntary treatment authorized under domestic mental health legislation in many states. We aim to advance discourse surrounding the CRPD and its development by centring mad peoples’ voices and individuals with lived experience through a literature review and interviews with key disability rights advocates. Using Canada as a case study, we critically examine the implementation of the CRPD and the need to align mental health acts with our international human rights obligations. We argue that forced psychiatric interventions violate the rights of persons with psychosocial disabilities and cause inherent harm. There is an urgent need to move towards new paradigms of care that promote the dignity and autonomy of people with psychosocial disabilities.

Abstract:
Voting rights of persons with disabilities must be ensured by States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The CRPD sets out legal obligations of States Parties to ensure de jure and de facto realisation of the right to vote by persons with disabilities. How can a disability researcher analyse compliance by States Parties with the CRPD? The present article argues that for achieving a fully developed disability legal scholarship, legal studies about the implementation of the CRPD need to combine the perspectives of jurisprudence and social sciences. Based on the author’s experience in carrying out the ongoing study “Voting Matters”, this article examines an innovative theoretical and methodological framework to understand how the CRPD is implemented through law and policy, and “in practice”. This means to investigate the “CRPD-in-action”. It concludes that this is a challenging task that can be accomplished through an evidence-based approach and a mixed-research design.

Abstract:
This paper explores the pervasive nature of the value system that is at the heart of the segregation of people with disabilities and analyses how it informs international law. It examines institutional responses to disability and how contemporary human rights provides a framework for social transformation and a process of deinstitutionalisation. First, the paper illuminates how the medical model underpins the conceptualisation of disability and results in an ableist standard within society. Secondly, the paper discusses the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the human rights model of disability that is fundamental to implementing Convention rights. The paper then describes the systematic and holistic interpretation of the CRPD by the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities regarding the institutionalisation of people with disabilities and shows how article 19 of the Convention – Living independently and being included in the community – is to be understood in relation to other building blocks of the Convention. Finally, the paper explains how and why the institutionalisation of people with disabilities is segregation and a fundamental denial of human rights.

This thesis examines compliance of decisions by Australian tribunals and courts administering guardianship legislation with the requirement of Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that all adults have the right to universal legal capacity. Over 300 publically available guardianship tribunal and court decisions involving residential accommodation were examined from NSW, Queensland and Victoria. The cases reviewed were from the period between Australia’s ratification of the Convention in 2008 and July 2015. There was variable compliance with the Convention across the States. The principles in the guardianship legislation were more important than the Convention, and ‘best interests’ principles took priority over autonomy-based principles consistent with the Convention.

This thesis responds to calls for greater clarity regarding the human rights standards that should be met by mental health legislation, and a mechanism by which to measure such standards. The research provides a new and contemporary human rights analysis tool, the Analysis Instrument for Mental Health, and uses the tool to demonstrate compliance of Victorian mental health legislation. The outcomes that can be achieved through use of the tool include identification of compliance with human rights, and law reform required to achieve full recognition of the right to equal recognition before the law under mental health legislation.

Abstract:
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities outlines the right of persons with disabilities to equal access to information. This paper builds on previous research on the international and national level and examines whether persons with disabilities have equal access to information online on the municipal level of government in Sweden. Also assessing the perception of municipality official’s view on the concept of accessibility, this thesis uses both qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings indicate that clear differences are present among municipalities and that article nine of the CRPD is not fully implemented on the municipal level in this aspect, but that no clear relationship between party control and web accessibility can be found. This paper concludes that further efforts needs to be put towards education and information towards the issue of online accessibility.

Abstract:
Doctor Legum - LLD<br>In recent years, the rights of persons with disabilities have received substantial attention both in South Africa and internationally. While certain rights have received widespread coverage, other rights have not yet been examined to determine the importance thereof for persons with disabilities and to establish the best way in which these rights can be implemented. A right which has not yet been examined in detail is the right to social protection, as guaranteed by Article 28 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Social protection involves the provision of financial support as well as certain services in order to ensure that persons with disabilities are able to participate in society on an equal basis with others. One of the essential components of the right to social protection is the provision of adequate social security for persons with disabilities. Since detailed research on the scope and content of Article 28 has not yet been undertaken, this thesis will investigate what is required of states in relation to the provision of social security in terms of Article 28 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In addition, the current provision made for social security for persons with disabilities in South Africa will be examined and evaluated. The investigation into the current social security measures for persons with disabilities in South Africa will commence with the Constitution and proceed to a detailed examination of relevant legislation. Similar legislation and policies from other jurisdictions will also be considered in order to gauge whether any lessons may be learned from the approach taken in these jurisdictions where they differ from the South African approach.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is about understandings, how those understandings shape the law and how the law helps to shape those understandings. Its first premise is that law is not neutral: it is formed and functions within a complex and dynamic socio-political context from which it is inseparable. From that premise, the thesis argues that partial understanding of the context in which the law has been formed may result in mis- or partial understandings, and thus mis- or partial application, of the law itself. The argument is made through political discourse analysis of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and implementation in England of Article 19, the right to live independently and be included in the community. The CRPD is seen as emancipatory law, offering a re-description of the world and of disabled people’s place in it, and requiring for its full implementation transformative paradigm change. Whether the Convention-drafters’ hegemonic project succeeds will depend in part on the understandings already circulating in national settings. Turning to the United Kingdom, the thesis identifies resistance on the part of successive governments to international understandings of economic, social and cultural rights, and their consequent invisibility in domestic discourse, as potential barriers to realisation of the CRPD’s emancipatory purpose. The remainder of the thesis investigates the extent to which this mis-understanding currently affects implementation in England of CRPD Article 19. Independent living policy, legislation, decision-making and redress are examined for evidence of CRPD-compatible change. The thesis concludes that the exclusion of international economic, social and cultural rights standards from domestic discourse results in mis- and partial understandings, and thus in mis- or partial application, of Article 19. This in turn undermines implementation of the Convention as a whole, and frustrates its drafters’ purpose in the English domestic sphere.

Abstract:
AbstractEngagement with human rights treaties occurs when the political authorities of a subnational unit try to understand an international treaty and intend to take policy measures to deal with it with a view to its (further) implementation. Our results indicate that there are three different ways in which political authorities engage with treaties: implementation-centred engagement, initiating engagement and embedded engagement. We base this typology on examples from our two case studies on the Istanbul Convention (IC) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), providing a granular understanding of what happens when subnational authorities commit to deal with a human rights treaty. At the end of this chapter, we discuss the conditions favouring and limiting the chances that the uses of treaties succeed in stimulating the engagement of political authorities and we offer a comparative outlook to distil similarities and differences in the patterns of engagement of subnational political authorities with the Istanbul Convention and the CRPD.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractInvoluntary admission or detention of persons is a controversial though widespread practice in modern mental health services. Accordingly, for decades now, there have been calls and initiatives to try to reduce the practice. Human rights-based mental health care has gained considerable momentum in recent decades and integral to that approach is the push for reduction or abolition of coercive practices within psychiatry. A key juncture in this movement has been the formulation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006, in particular, articles 12 and 14, which call respectively for equal recognition of persons with disabilities before the law, and for those persons not to be deprived of their liberty unlawfully or arbitrarily. This chapter discusses the concept and practice of involuntary admission, and the views and experiences of some who have assisted with, or who have been subject to such admissions. It considers some of the authoritative stipulations of the CRPD and the feasibility of implementing them in legislation and practice. Concepts of advance directives and supported versus substitute decision-making are analysed. It looks at justifications offered for the continued use of involuntary admission and concludes with an examination of the better known initiatives to reduce involuntary detention rates.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses the role of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) in driving law and policy reform globally relating to the rights of people with disabilities. By ratifying the CRPD states promise to adopt proactive equality norms and provide positive supports for persons with disabilities. They are also required to involve people with disabilities in the enforcement and implementation of the CRPD. It is thus a valuable tool for those advocating for the realisation of the rights of persons with disabilities that they be treated on an equal basis with others and fully included in society. The potential of the CRPD as a tool for social policy reforms is illustrated with reference to its use to impact EU policy to accelerate the de-institutionalisation and de-segregation of persons with disabilities across the EU.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Article 17 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The notion of personal integrity has attracted notable attention in international human rights law debates in recent times. It has been viewed as strategic for the realization of fundamental freedoms and rights of marginalized segments of the society, including disabled persons. The chapter considers how an ad hoc right to personal integrity has arisen from the negotiations of the CRPD, and the scope of application of the right, based on the practice of the CRPD Committee and scholarly works in the field. It examines the inter-relationship between Article 17 and other CRPD provisions to understand how the interpretation and application of this right might change in the future based on the case-law of the CRPD Committee and on academic works in this field.

Abstract:
The present study starts from the broad context of the recent legislative changes introduced by the entry into force of Law no. 140/2022 regarding some protection measures for people with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities, a law that amended and supplemented the provisions of the Civil Code and the Code of Civil Procedure in the matter of the protection of natural persons. The normative act modified these measures in a more nuanced and comprehensive manner, by referring also to European and international legislation, ratified by Romania, establishing new mechanisms for the protection of minors and other categories of persons who, although they are adults, require support either to take care of one�s own person, or for the administration of the patrimony and the full exercise of civil rights and liberties. The new regulation therefore highlights both previous doctrinal experience and similar provisions of some international pacts and treaties. In this broad context of legislative reform, we analyse only a particular and somewhat adjacent aspect of the law mentioned above, namely, the ways of acquisition by minors and by adults who benefit from legal protection of the right to private property, with an emphasis on the area of concluding legal acts of disposition free of charge. Therefore, the acquisition of the right to private property in the case of liberalities has undergone some changes in both substantive law and procedural law through the new law. We will also issue personal points of view regarding the alternative procedure of sharing control and validation of these legal acts between the guardianship authority and the guardianship court.

Abstract:
Education technologies have for long provided learning solutions. This became more important at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when physical learning was disrupted globally. Learning from this experience, many countries are thinking of investing in solutions that ensure continued learning while contributing to sustainable development. Technology makes everything easy, including learning and preparing learners for the world of work. It is projected that most work will be technology-based in the coming years. The education and training ecosystem will evolve and innovation will drive the format in which education will be delivered. Increasingly, learning will migrate online and be self-directed and require some future employers. Many countries have embraced innovative and inclusive education technology solutions, whether homemade or exotic. High-income countries have achieved this to a desirable extent, while many low and middle-income countries contend with other competing priorities and economic burdens. As this is happening, there is a need to ensure such education technologies cater for the educational needs of learners with disabilities, recognizing the principles of accessibility, equality and non-discrimination as envisioned by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Kenya has trailblazed in setting education standards that partly prepare the learners for technology in the region. One of the seven key competencies that the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya aims to achieve is digital literacy, which sets the stage for the government and schools to implement and employ technology and innovation purposively. However, no particular study has documented how and the extent to which institutions of learning are offering education to learners and trainees with disabilities and how they are employing inclusive education technologies for learners with disabilities. This paper aims to document the efforts by government and non-government organizations to leverage innovative technology to achieve educational outcomes for learners with disabilities. Data will be drawn from different programmes that are being implemented nationally. A literature review, document analysis and expert review are used. It is hoped that the insights from this paper will justify the need for additional investment into inclusive education technology by the government, schools and development partners.

Abstract:
It is no coincidence that the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is the first international human rights treaty in the 21st century. The Convention seeks to amend the social and legal status of persons with disabilities, including children, in a revolutionary way. The main goal is to remove social barriers by adopting a social model of disability in recognizing and exercising the human rights of persons with disabilities on an equal basis with other persons. Therefore, it is understandable that the rules of earlier international human rights treaties, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child or the European Convention on Human Rights, are beginning to be directly adjusted to the this Convention. From the aspect of recognition and exercising of the rights of children with disabilities, the issue of accessibility to health care services is especially important. It insists on the application of the principles of reasonable accommodation, accessibility and non-discrimination so that children with disabilities have access to health care facilities on an equal basis with other children. This implies significant involvement of the state, local community and family in order to remove social and infrastructural barriers. Furthermore, the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities calls for an absolute ban on the forced detention and placement of children in health care facilities, while there is a very negative attitude towards the care of children with disabilities in social protection institutions. In this regard, an amendment to the domestic Law on the Protection of Persons with Mental Disabilities is required. According to the social model of disability, the family environment with the appropriate and effective support of the local community is a necessary environment for the realization of the rights of children with disabilities. When it comes to the consent of a child with a disability to a medical treatment, it is necessary to determine the child's capability to form views, as in the case of other children. In that sense, the mentioned child should be provided with appropriate assistance and support to express his / her views. This support consists primarily in the way in which the child is informed about the proposed medical treatment.

Full text
Abstract:
The World Health Organization and World Bank (2011) estimate that there are more than 1 billion people with disabilities in the world. To address this population’s diverse needs, the United Nations drafted their Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2006. Article 24 (Education) of the CRPD requires ratifying countries to develop an inclusive education system to address the educational needs of students with disabilities alongside their peers without disabilities. Despite substantive improvements and movement toward inclusive education, many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to struggle with accurately identifying and supporting students with disabilities, including knowing how to effectively screen, evaluate, and qualify students for additional services (Hayes, Dombrowski, Shefcyk, &amp; Bulat, 2018a). These challenges stem from the lack of policies, practices, and qualified staff related to screening and identification. As a result, many students with less-apparent disabilities—such as children with learning disabilities—remain unidentified and do not receive the academic supports they need to succeed in school (Friend &amp; Bursuck, 2012). This guide attempts to address the lack of appropriate, useful disability screening and identification systems and services as countries look to educate all students in inclusive settings. Specifically, this guide introduces viable options for screening and identification related to vision, hearing, and learning disabilities in inclusive classrooms in LMICs. It also provides guidance on how LMICs can transition from an assessment-center model toward a school-based identification model that better serves an inclusive education system.

Abstract:
In what way and how can models for personalised support such as personal budgeting strengthen the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities? Personal budgeting refers to a sum of money that is granted to the individual on the basis of an assessment of the need for service and calculation of a budget for this purpose. The individual can buy the service he needs for his budget. Personal budgeting is in use in social and health care in several countries. In the Nordic region, personal assistance is the main example of such solutions, but other models have also been tried and adopted in social and health care, such as systems of freedom of choice and increased opportunities for users to choose a provider. The report presents a number of personalised systems for support for people with disabilities that have been implemented in the Nordic countries and their experiences. The mapping was carried out jointly by the Nordic Welfare Center and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). The report will be considered when forming a proposal for a future reform of support and services for people with disabilities in Finland.

Abstract:
During the early months of the global pandemic the international Disability Rights Monitor group survey illustrated the circumstances of persons with disabilities around the world. Gradually literature on the situation for persons with disabilities in sub-Saharan Africa started to emerge. As members of an informal network looking at issues affecting this group, some of the authors of this report realised that much of the research done was not specifically focusing on their perceptions during the pandemic and that it was not using the WG-SS questions. Having noticed a gap in the type of data being collected by other scholars and the media, this small informal network identified a need for a survey that would look at both experiences and perceptions of persons with disabilities focussing on lived experiences of socioeconomic impacts and access to human rights during the pandemic in South Africa. This report summarises some of the key findings of the study, which was conducted on-line using Google Forms from the 1 July to 31 August 2021. All percentages displayed are rounded to the nearest percent and this may affect what is displayed in charts. While we cite some literature in this report, a separate literature review was written by the team, and was used to guide the research and focus the questions.

Abstract:
No person with a disability shall be left behind. This report presents suggested indicators for monitoring the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and Agenda 2030 in the Nordic region. The vision of the Nordic cooperation is to become the most integrated and sustainable in the world by 2030. The vision mirrors the sustainable development goals of Agenda 2030, according to which no-one shall be left behind. Persons with disabilities have the right to inclusion, and the Nordic countries monitor the developments of living conditions for persons with disabilities. All countries have also ratified the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and have high ambitions with regard to Agenda 2030. Throughout the region we face similar challenges concerning inclusion. Participation is not equal, not in employment, nor in education, economy, or health. But to improve this we need to see it. Even if a set of indicators is not the only way forward, they can help us measure if we are on the right track. In this report, we suggest a set of indicators that could be developed further and used to follow the developments towards inclusion and measure living conditions. By developing such a set of comparable indicators in the Nordic countries, we can see whether the countries separately and collectively follow the intentions of the UNCRPD to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities. The indicators are also an aid in the work to identify whether we are working correctly to achieve the Agenda 2030 targets.

Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has left no corner of the world untouched. To cite just one figure, 100 million people have been pushed into poverty, according to a recent World Bank study. The two-speed recovery from the pandemic, depending on vaccine availability, is expected to leave lasting imprints on the economic performances of countries, which data suggest will have a disproportionate effect on forcibly displaced persons and their host communities. This summary highlights key messages from research focusing on how people displaced by war and conflict have been affected by Covid 19 and its secondary impacts. Diverse lived experiences are explored, ranging from the erosion of forcibly displaced persons’ rights during the pandemic, to Syrian refugees with disabilities in Turkey, to displaced Rohingya in Bangladesh. This Research for Policy and Practice Paper sets out examples of the multidimensional social and economic challenges displaced people are facing during the pandemic and presents a series of evidence-based recommendations for positive change that could be achieved even in the most challenging contexts.

Abstract:
In the past, people with disabilities have been left out of many aspects of life including research. They have not usually been included in ‘mainstream’ studies about key topics such as health, education, WASH, gender empowerment, social and political participation, while other groups in populations are more routinely asked for their views and their qualitative data is collected. It is often perceived to be too difficult or expensive to include disabled people. This is discriminatory and leads to continued lack of understanding about their lives. We need to collect disability inclusive data to understand disabled people’s situations and needs, alongside others’ views. Additionally, disability-specific research has been rare and poorly funded. Now, partly in response to the game-changing UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (UNCRPD, 2007), the rights of disabled people to participate in all aspects of life are recognised, and research priorities are changing to include disability data and disabled people’s perspectives on many topics.

The launch of the ASSAf inclusivity initiative for gender equity and persons with disabilities as part of the Science Forum South Africa 2023 panel discussion. Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/assaf.2024/101.

Full text
Abstract:
Gender equity, disability and inclusivity are human rights issues, and the South African Constitution enshrines the rights of citizens at all levels. The Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 10 promote gender equality and reduced inequalities, respectively. Furthermore, the South Africa’s Decadal Plan in science, technology and innovation (STI) calls for the creation of an inclusive economy and equity ambitions set by the Gender- Responsive Planning Budgeting, Monitoring, Evaluation and Auditing Framework. In spite of these legislative prerogatives, initiatives to promote the participation of women and people living with disabilities are slow to produce significant change. ASSAf is no exception in this regard, with 70% of members being male academics and statistics of participation of persons with disabilities is lacking. As a result, ASSAf developed a transformation strategy which incorporated the 2019 White Paper on STI as one of many instruments to guide the organisation in prioritising inclusivity and transformation in STI, and the ASSAf Inclusivity Initiative on Gender Equity and Persons with Disabilities is one such tool. The ASSAf Inclusivity Initiative on Gender Equity and Persons with Disabilities focuses on advancing inclusive participation of persons with disabilities and women in science, technology and innovation within its Membership and within the national system of innovation (NSI). ASSAf launched the Inclusivity Initiative on Gender and Persons with Disabilities during the 2023 Science Forum South Africa in order to raise awareness on the Initiative and to seek partnerships from beyond the academic sector. It is envisioned that the Initiative will also provide ASSAf with a platform to strengthen collaborations with other stakeholders in raising awareness of and in championing solutions to curb the barriers that impede equal opportunities and access to Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) by women, young girls and, persons with disabilities within the National System of Innovation. The participants provided valuable inputs and recommendations which ASSAf will take into consideration in the next phase of the process. Speakers included: Prof Olubukola Oluranti Babalola (ASSAf Member; OWSD; TWAS); Dr Tebogo Mabotha (ASSAf); Dr Anila Pretorious (Wits); Ms Dineo Mmako (DWYPD); Mr Mark Bannister (DWS); Ms Bongiwe Mkhithika (DSI); Mr Gerhard Coetzee (INVEN-D) and Dr Tozama Qwebani (ASSAf). There were over 60 participants in attendance.
