Overview

The increasing international recognition of the rights of people with disabilities contrasts with numerous daily experiences of exclusion, discrimination and oppression. Based on the understanding of intimate and sexual citizenship as a basic dimension of the right to an independent life, the seminar "Disability, Independent Living and Self-Determination" brings together narratives that converge in the problematisation of marginalisations, personal and family stigmata, self-determination of people with disabilities dealing with control of their bodies, feelings and relationships.
