“…It was among the first countries to corroborate and bring into force the two most remarkable global agreements that protect the rights of children with disabilities: the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1990) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2007) [ 15 ]. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities outlines states parties’ obligations to ensure the full realisation of rights for children with disabilities on an equal basis with other children [ 16 ]. The CFM has been utilised for the first time in Bangladesh in MICS 2019.…”

Functional difficulty in children is a crucial public health problem still undervalued in developing countries. This study explored the socio-demographic factors and anthropometry associated with children’s functional difficulty in Bangladesh. Data for 2-4-year-old children, obtained from Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2019, were used in this study. The mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to analyse the data. Children whose mothers had functional difficulty were found to be 2.75 times more likely to have functional difficulty than children whose mothers had no functional difficulty (95% CI 1.63-4.63). Male children were more likely to experience functional difficulty than female children (OR = 1.48). Furthermore, stunting was found to be significantly associated with functional difficulty (OR = 1.50). The study also revealed that division and mother’s education, specifically, children with mothers having higher secondary + education, had significant association with the outcome variable. The findings provided a vital overview of child disability in a developing country.

“…Work plays a fundamental role in disabled individuals' lives, including the Deaf [1] . It serves as a gateway to financial independence, personal & professional fulfilment, and a sense of societal contribution (Winzer and Mazurek, 2017) [35] . Yet, despite widespread recognition of its importance, numerous challenges hinder the effective inclusion of Deaf individuals in the workforce, limiting their ability to reach their full potential.…”

Deaf individuals in the Saudi labour market face significant hurdles, adversely impacting their professional integration. This study investigates the reality of job empowerment for Deaf employees from their perspective in Jeddah, aiming to illuminate the nuances of their experiences. A qualitative approach employed interviews with twelve Deaf employees, purposively sampled from the community. The findings paint a complex picture. While overall relations appear positive, a stark gender disparity emerges in workplace power dynamics and opportunities. Deaf males enjoy greater autonomy, wield influence and navigate responsibilities relatively easily. Deaf women, however, encounter discriminatory practices, are often excluded from crucial decision-making processes and professional engagements. This study underscores the urgent need for concrete measures to combat workplace gender bias and empower Deaf females. Business institutions must prioritize equal opportunities for employment, training, and development by fostering inclusive work environments and providing targeted support for Deaf females. Such findings provide an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Deaf employees, particularly navigating the complexities of gender dynamics within the professional sphere. Further research is warranted to explore effective strategies for fostering equitable and empowering workplaces for Deaf individuals of all genders, ultimately promoting their successful integration into the Saudi labour market.

“…Inclusive schooling for persons with disabilities has been a central focus of our research. We have generated a body of analyses on multiple aspects, most recently focusing on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD, UN, 2006) and disability within Education for All (e.g., Winzer & Mazurek, 2014, 2016, 2017. What catches our interest here is the issue of what counts as disability or special education need and how it relates to wider visions of diversity.…”

Debates about diversity, disability, and inclusive schooling redound in the contemporary field of special education. The argument in this paper holds that disability stands apart from other forms of diversity and cannot be viewed as simply one cross-cutting issue to be pursued alongside race, gender, ethnicity, language, and culture. Disability is governed by numerous contexts. The complex, variable, and contingent nature of disability demands different approaches and different remedies than those apt for other identity markers. We ground these ideas within the context of inclusive schooling for students with disabilities and conclude that the nature and needs of disability preempt the current stress on diversity and general classroom placement.
