Disability and Development in the Middle East(2018_1_40_004)
Outline
The
past
research
at
IDE
on
“Disability
and
Development”
has
covered
Southeast
Asia,
South
Asia
and
Africa.
The
comparative
studies
shed
light
on
the
current
situations
of
people
with
disabilities,
the
government
policies
for
them
and
the
organizations
for
disabled
persons
in
these
areas.
This
new
study
will
conduct
the
same
research
for
the
Middle
East.
We
hope
to
add
the
new
chapter
of
“Disability
in
the
Middle
East”
to
The
Middle
East
Area
Studies
in
Japan.
Responding
to
the
recent
interest
and
concern
for
women
with
disabilities
in
the
world,
the
research
will
focus
on
women
with
disabilities,
who
have
more
disadvantages
than
women
without
disabilities,
although
the
latter
have
faced
social
inequality
and
been
in
poorer
situations
than
men
without
disabilities
in
this
area.
Through
the
one
year
preliminary
research
discussions,
we
intend
to
construct
a
hypothesis
on
the
differences
in
the
social
situations
of
disabled
people
and
the
government
policies
for
them
in
the
Middle
East
and
other
regions.
