Module 5 - Using Monitoring Information to Achieve Social Justice for Persons with Disabilities
Monitoring is building a body of knowledge rather than a one-time audit.
Tracking or monitoring rights does not end with collecting information, analyzing it and writing reports. Many different groups can use human rights monitoring information to achieve the goal of improving the lives of persons with disabilities:
- organizations of persons with disabilities (DPOs)
- other organizations interested in promoting the rights of persons with disabilities
- governments
- national human rights institutions
- private organizations and businesses
- media
This module focuses on how organizations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) can use monitoring information to create positive change in their countries, communities and around the world. Article 33 of the UN requires that persons with disabilities and their representative organizations be involved and participate fully in the monitoring process.
Nothing about us, without us
is more than a slogan.
