But how real is the progress towards equality for the less able and those with poor sight, hearing or suffering from mental health issues What are the barriers to the CRPD's successful implementation on the continent, and how might we enforce inclusiveness and equality among those disadvantaged This book brings together the findings of researchers in Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zimbabwe and South Africa to offer grassroots' perspectives on the challenges and possibilities of achieving disability rights under the CRPD.
