5PROGRAMME Tuesday 21 June Civil Society using the ‘New Politics of Disability’: Case Studies on Innovative Advocacy Throughout the World Rationale This is a day to reflect deeply on how civil society can – and does – take advantage of the ‘new politics of disability’ created by the UN CRPD to impact processes of domestic change. Over two days we will look at three sets of examples: (a) innovative civil society advocacy and how it impacts change, (b) civil society amplifying its voice through and with National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), and (c) civil society engaging with university-based research and law clinics throughout the world.
