We Have Human Rights

Item #230 Volume discounts (see below)

A human rights handbook for people with developmental disabilities

In 2007, the United Nations passed a new law: people with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else. This accessibly written and designed "mini manual" will support persons with developmental disabilities (self-advocates) wishing to do human rights education and advocacy work. They can use it to not only learn about their basic human rights, but also to teach others about these rights.
