Goals of Disability and Human Rights course

I have added some new stuff in the 'Plan' handout used for the Disability and Human Rights (DHR) class at the EOC this semester. The new stuff is the 'Goal' section, the 5 goals make the following points:
Goal 1: related to the point discussed earlier that this course is not about two separate topics 'disability' and 'human rights', rather, it is about how disability is a human rights issue. This is our starting point, I will show that as long as disability is treated as a rights issue separate from human rights, it will only succeed in serving the cause of the segregrationists.
Goal 2: Legal aspects of disability are very important as they are brought about after years of hard work and activism, they are not achieved in one day. Once an act comes into force then it becomes an instrument of empowerment in terms of how it affords people the 'right' to demand their rights. For any career in advocacy in the future, a thorough knowledge of the Acts is of utmost important because the Indian Constitution is a powerful instrument that ensure justice for all. I strongly believe that to carry out one of the most important agendas of disability studies, namely, to not divorce activism from academics, taking the legal path is the most effective one -- sometimes, this is forgotten in the zeal of 'street' activism.
Goal 3: The philosophical background of disability as a human rights issue is linked to the philosophy of justice and equality, and it's important to review the context and place of this stance in Philosophy. We will specifically look at Amartya Sen's work in this context, which is also the position taken by Martha Nussbaum, whose re-reading (and problematising) of the concept of equality is less brandied around in the disability field (and therefore, probably, more meaningful).
Goal 4: relates how the different waves of feminism and women's issues neglected disability and women with disability left behind, forgotten. Even now, most fora on feminism, mention disability simply as an add-on category, there is no indication of any active acceptance of a disability perspective and the resulting enrichment. We will also discuss how the UNCRPD though has a separate section on women with disability, most disability acts of most countries show reluctance in designing separate articles for WwD.
Goal 5: relates to the active union driven movement in disability which earned disability a place in the academia, however, which continues to be neglected in the governmental acts and laws. In fact, most disability laws of most countries, do not accept the tenets of the social model. Unfortunate.
