Using 150 years of women's history, this book details how women have organized into global movements which have shaped and challenged how international organizations consider gender. It argues that traditional ways of analyzing international relations have ignored women's contributions because their tools are gender exclusive. After developing a gender analysis, this book brings to light many contributions from women's movements especially related to the League of Nations and United Nations, and puts these in the context of changes in the global political economy. It includes an extensive chronology of international women's organizations, their organizing date and consultative status at the United Nations.

Including people with disabilities fully into Canadian society, with the rights enjoyed by non-disabled people, requires a fundamental social transformation, not simply "fixing" some bodies. It requires deep changes in the attitudes, cultural images and policies that make people with disabilities invisible, set them aside, undermine or reject their contributions and value, and justifies their neglect, abuse and death. This shift involves the simple recognition and honouring of the dignity, autonomy and rights of all people, including those who experience disabilities.In the second edition of About Canada: Disability Rights, Deborah Stienstra explores the historical and current experiences of people with disabilities in Canada, as well as the policy and advocacy responses to these experiences. Stienstra demonstrates that disability rights enable people with disabilities to make decisions about their lives and future, claim rights on their own behalf, and participate actively in all areas of Canadian society. Disability rights can and does increase access to and inclusion in critical areas like education, employment, transportation, telecommunications and health care. Additionally, Stienstra identifies new approaches and practices, such as universal design, disability supports and income supports, that can transform Canadian society to be more inclusive and accommodating for everyone.

This open access book examines how women and girls with disabilities across Haiti, South Africa, Vietnam, Canada, Uganda, and contexts of gender based violence more broadly, navigate systemic exclusion while driving meaningful social change. Drawing on a major transnational research partnership, the collection identifies three interconnected approaches that women with disabilities themselves have identified as essential for advancing rights and justice: building and sustaining leadership, leveraging transnational networks and strategic litigation, and creating spaces for co producing and sharing knowledge. Through country case studies and comparative analysis, the chapters illuminate how women and girls with disabilities confront intersecting forms of discrimination, mobilise collective action, and reshape local, national, and global policy landscapes. The volume highlights both shared experiences and context specific challenges across regions with different income levels, human development rankings, and histories of conflict and peacebuilding. Each chapter is grounded in research conducted with women and girls with disabilities, offering insight into how they exercise agency, build movements, and transform the conditions of their lives.Edited by leading scholars in disability, development, and gender studies, this short collection fills a critical gap in scholarship and practice. It provides an essential resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers in international development studies, women’s and gender studies, disability studies, anthropology, sociology, political science, international relations, and global studies.
