A voice of our own: advocacy by women with disability in Australia and the Pacific

Keywords

Overview

Women with disability do not generally benefit from international human-rights laws and agreements, or from development discourse and practice. The interconnection between disability and gender identity is largely invisible within women’s rights, disability rights, and development agendas. For women with disability in the Asia and Pacific region, this is particularly evident for Pacific women; within […]

Women’s voluntary work in the community: a question of recognition and rewards

Keywords

Overview

In South Korea, the state has played a minimal role in social provisioning, and as such, care provisions have been dependent on women's unpaid labour.
