Book Description

The contents of this Pressbook complement a global conversation between activists, legal scholars and students from Colombia, Scotland and Canada about the ‘right to decide’. It will explore questions about how to enact Article 12 of the UNCRPD through local advocacy and activism, regional legal and policy change and international information sharing to transform understandings of capacity and the social and material impact they have on disabled and mad people’s lives.
