The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a significant international document that seeks to guarantee equal human rights and freedoms for all individuals with disabilities. The convention outlines specific articles, such as Article 24, which calls for equal access to education for people with disabilities on an equal footing with others. Article 27 prohibits workplace discrimination against individuals with disabilities and requires state parties to provide reasonable accommodations. Additionally, Article 12 stipulates that people with disabilities should have their legal capacity on par with others. By establishing these provisions, the CRPD is working towards creating a more inclusive society for people with disabilities, where they can live with dignity and without discrimination. The marginalization of people with disabilities in Afghanistan has been a longstanding issue that has resulted in social barriers, exclusion from public participation, and denial of their right to equality. Crimes related to disabilities often go unreported due to stigma, lack of public awareness, and the absence of an effective legal framework. While Afghanistan ratified the CRPD convention in 2012, discrimination and social stigma against Afghan PWD continue to be prevalent. Ratification alone is not sufficient for a war-torn state, and the country must implement effective disability laws to address the issue. This book employs emancipatory research methods and provides a roadmap for resolving the conundrum of people with disabilities in Afghanistan. Understanding disability as a complex social phenomenon and the intersectionality of social and medical models of disability is crucial in addressing the issue.
