Intersectionality and persons with disability

Abstract

Intersectionality is key to social policy. If we want to move forward in the area of social policy we need to embrace this very important notion as social wellbeing cannot exist in isolation. I am immensely satisfied that the Faculty for Social Wellbeing in conjunction with CRPD have looked into this very interesting and contentious issue and this study has harboured an important concept that deserves to be further explored. The sterling work by the RSO team, the admin team and the academics involved in this project give credence to the study. Not only. The study is also packaged with a number of proposals which is typical of the studies the Faculty is involved in. The recommendations provide direction where we need to go and this further strengthens the validity of this project. As always it is a pleasure working in close proximity with CRPD.
