Implementation of the 2006 Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Zimbabwe: A review

摘要

For many African states, the Convention came amidst ubiquitous marginalisation and discrimination of persons with disabilities. As expected, the Convention has been hailed as a landmark in the struggle to reframe the needs and concerns of persons with disabilities.
