General Information

Report Offers Global Snapshot of How People with Disabilities Are Treated Around the World (2003)

The Center for International Rehabilitation (CIR) released a report providing a comparative analysis of living conditions and legal protections for people with disabilities in 52 countries around the world. Titled The Disability Rights Compendium, the report is published by the International Disability Rights Monitor project (IDRM), a newly formed coalition committed to observing and reporting on the human rights of people with disabilities worldwide. Preliminary findings from this study will be used to develop annual reports on disability attitudes in various parts of the world beginning with countries of North and South America in 2004.

To obtain a copy of the report free of charge, call 312-926-0014 or send an e-mail.
