A human rights based approach to disability implies that persons with disabilities have a right to participate in all spheres of society on equal basis with persons without disabilities. Human rights perspective in research with persons with disabilities provides insight into participants´ perspectives of their fundamental rights, contributes to the understanding of human rights, and addresses power imbalances within and between providers of formal support to persons with disabilities. It also addresses inequalities, discrimination and power relations that persons with disabilities face. The aim of this presentation is to provide insight into key principles, elements, and issues of human rights perspective in qualitative research with persons with disabilities. The authors analysed and summarized main findings from different qualitative studies based on human rights perspective, and provide their perspectives about human rights perspective in qualitative studies they conducted with persons with disabilities. The results show that it is important to incorporate human rights perspective into research with persons with disabilities because it provides perspectives of persons with disabilities´ about exclusion, marginalization, discrimination, and/or stigmatization they face, and the violation of their human rights. The conclusion is that incorporation of human perspective in qualitative research with persons with disabilities provides better understanding of inequalities persons with disabilities face, an opportunity to empower persons with disabilities, and can result in changes in formal support system for persons with disabilities. |
