Exercise: Applying the CRPD to the issues we face
everyday
It can take time to get used to identifying the articles in the CRPD
that are most relevant to the issues you are working on. Now that you
have been through a summary of the articles in the CRPD, using the
full
text of the Convention:
1) Consider the following disability issues and discuss which articles
in the CRPD you think would be helpful to advocacy on these issues:
Transportation
Housing
Education
Recreation
Employment
For example, for the issue of housing you might consider
referring to several articles, including Articles 3 (General principles),
5 (Equality and non-discrimination), 9 (Accessibility), 19 (Living
independently and being included in the community), and 28 (Adequate
standard of living and social protection). What other articles do you
think might be relevant for the issue of housing?
2) Once you have identified the articles that you think are most
relevant, discuss how you think the articles can usefully be applied
to support advocacy on those issues.
3) Consider what additional issues are important in your work. Which
articles would you select to apply to your advocacy on those issues?
