These tools are designed to advocate for the ratification and implementation of the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The toolkit is based on case studies from the seven participating countries; Lebanon, Jordan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and the United Kingdom. The toolkit was developed by disability professionals from the UK who have a long history of advocating for the rights of people with disabilities.
The guide’s ease of use and case studies from different countries will help facilitators better understand the CRPD. The guide explains how authorities (i.e. governments) can become an effective partner for civil society to help decision-makers pass inclusive laws. The guide also focuses on the media and how it can be a key ally in the disability advocacy process, including awareness-raising for the general public.
