Disability to Improve the Quality and Effectiveness of Its Roles and Functions: Formidable Policy Challenges
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: This study aims to examine disability policies in Indonesia. Apart from that, a comparison is also made here regarding disability policies in Indonesia with other countries. The research uses a qualitative approach, namely the systematic literature review method, using previous research and existing legal documents. The results of the study show that 11 rights must be protected for persons with disabilities, including the right to education, the right to accessibility, the right to be free from stigma, the right to be free from discrimination, neglect, torture, and exploitation, the right to habilitation and rehabilitation, the right to justice and legal protection, right to health, social welfare rights, job rights, entrepreneurship and cooperatives, disaster protection rights, and political rights. All of these rights have also been listed and explained in detail in Law No. 8 of 2016. It is hoped that this research can become material for consideration for the government or even stakeholders in efforts to implement quality and effective disability policies.
