Disability, Liberation and Development

By Peter Coleridge

The situation of disabled people provides a microcosm of the whole development debate and process. Disabled people are oppressed and marginalised in every country in the world, both North and South. Their lives are constrained by social attitudes which stem from fear and prejudice. By probing these prejudices and studying cases where they have been overcome, we gain an insight into the processes of liberation and empowerment that lie at the heart of any development effort.
