Today DRPI Co-Director Marcia Riouxwas a guest speaker at the Forum: Celebrating International Day of People with Disabilities – which was hosted by jointly by Arthur Rogers, Deputy Secretary, Deputy Secretary, NDIS Reform and Director of Housing and Claire Thorn Acting Director, Office for Disability.
Professor Rioux, Distinguished Research Professor in the school of Health Policy and Management at York University and Principal Investigator and Co- Director of Disability Rights Promotion International shared findings of her latest book: Disability, Rights Monitoring and Social Change

This book has been described as “both a roadmap and a call to action for disability rights advocates across the world as we seek to realize the promise of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Impressive in both its scope and relevance, this volume brings together leading scholars and activists from across the globe to address the rationales, methodologies, and practice of human rights monitoring.”
