Section A of this volume features four articles by: Sharna-Lee Clarke on protecting the right to a standard of living of internally displaced children with disabilities in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa; Willene Holness on adapting prevention and early intervention measures and parenting capacity assessments in neglect cases involving parents with intellectual disabilities in South African children’s courts; Nomatter Sande on going beyond Christian doctrinal disability discourses to embrace human rights in Zimbabwe and Yohannes Zewale on evaluating Ethiopia’s Electoral Proclamation through the prism of CRPD voting standards.
Section B contains three country reports by: Ngozi Chuma Umeh on Nigeria; Ilze Grobbelaar-du Plessis on South Africa; and Peter Josiah Shughuru on Tanzania.
Section C on regional developments contains two commentaries by: MK Ande & BD Mezmur on mapping ACERWC’s work on the rights of children with disabilities; and Innocentia Mgijima-Konopi & Muluka- Anne Miti-Drummond on refugees with albinism in Africa.
