This paper explores access to health and education for disabled youth in sites with and without community rehabilitation workers (CRWs). A cross-sectional survey using a structured questionnaire was undertaken in nine sites in South Africa, and a snowball sample of 523 disabled youths of both sexes, aged between 18 and 35 years, was selected. The survey found that a significantly larger proportion of disabled youth living in sites with CRWs were seen by health care workers at home, and that there was a large difference in educational access between sites with and without CRWs. CRWs are well positioned to promote equal citizenship for disabled youth through service learning with occupational therapy final year students to improve access to health and education, so that barriers to their participation in economic development are removed. 相似文献

This paper contends that copyright is a product of the invention of print. Before that time, writings were seen as part of the common heritage of humanity and if someone copied a book by hand they deserved the right to own the copy. The digitalization of not only print, but also intellectual products such as music, graphics and video has caused problems more deep-seated than many copyright lawyers would admit to. In fact, a paradigm shift has occurred with information at the core. The older paradigm comes from the world of Descartes and Newton and focuses on material things. The legal system of that era correspondingly focused on material things, making it impossible to own, possess or have any other real right in incorporeals. To cover intellectual property a special subsystem of law was designed which is now starting to show the strain. It is argued that information ages quickly and by over-protecting it one loses the value of the asset. Power and wealth will come from transmitting and adding value to information. In this regard personal rights might be more valuable than real or intellectual property rights, unless the latter adapts to change more rapidly. 相似文献

ABSTRACTReparations are a major component of transitional justice in the aftermath of widespread abuse. However, the implementation of reparations programmes often follows the logic of transitional politics, where short-term political interests trump victims’ rights. Using the South African case as a cautionary tale, this article shows that reparations are susceptible to political instrumentalisation and evaluates the role of international redress norms in safeguarding victims’ rights. Civil society groups have used the right to reparations as a basis for political contestation of inadequate reparations programmes and focused primarily on the broadening of redress norms. However, the existing international legislation fails to protect victims’ rights to reparations from political manoeuvring. In conclusion, the article highlights the need for international redress norms to be consolidated and made more concrete in order to more effectively circumscribe the scope states have to avoid meeting their reparations obligations. 相似文献

ABSTRACTSince the advent of democracy in the 1990s, the South African political settlement has ushered into policy a progressive framework for the realization of socio-economic rights, enshrined by the Constitution. However, this political settlement has failed to translate into an economic and social settlement that results in just livelihood strategies and equitable service delivery that addresses historical grievances. Inadequate implementation of socio-economic policies designed to address injustice has contributed to weakening vertical cohesion between state and society. Analysing these two core conflict issues, access to service delivery and livelihood strategies, this article argues that the interaction of the political settlement and the ability of institutions to deliver effectively has negatively affected state-society relations and the legitimacy of the reconciliation agenda meant to support inter-group cohesion. 相似文献
