New disabled-person-led reports released by the Donald Beasley Institute
The DBI have been conducting inclusive and accessible research on behalf of the DPO Coalition that enables disabled people to share their experiences of human rights in Aotearoa New Zealand. They have also been monitoring the progressive realisation of the Convention at a systemic level. This means investigating systems and policies that have resulted in the violation of disabled people's rights.
In 2019, the DBI began by interviewing disabled people and their families/whānau about their experiences of housing (2018 - 2020) and then health and wellbeing (2020-2021). These reports have now been released and are available on the institute's website .
The reports are:
- My Experiences My Rights: A Monitoring Report on Disabled Person's Experience of Housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
- Housing for Disabled People: Family, Whānau and Close Supporter Perspectives and My Experiences.
The reports are also available in Easy Read, Braille, Audio, New Zealand Sign Language, and Large Print.
