Feminismo y discapacidad: El derecho humano a la educación inclusiva desde una perspectiva de género

Abstract

This article shows a brief analysis of the emergence of a new feminism since the 90s, driven by organized women with disabilities. It is based on the criticism that the human rights model of disability makes about the ableist and the patriarchal system still in force. The right to education, in this context, appears as a key element to ensure the full development, advancement and empowerment of women with disabilities, however, the Spanish educational system continues to show important deficiencies that prevent it from being considered an inclusive model. Based on the Report of the research on the situation of inclusive education in Spain, carried out by the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the United Nations, this issue is analysed from a gender perspective, showing that women and girls with disabilities still go through their particular first wave of feminism where the demand for a true education is a pending issue.Keywords: Women and girls with disability, feminism, disability, human rights, ableism, patriarchy, inclusive education.
