Inclusión socio-laboral de las mujeres con discapacidad

The book, which brings together the outcomes of applied research on the inclusion of women with disabilities in social and working life, draws on a number of disciplines (law, philosophy, sociology, health and education sciences) and employs an intersectional approach, combining two complex variables - gender and disability. The result is a work that covers different issues. To explore the subject matter of our investigation we used various interpretative keys: some cross-cutting and more theoretical, such as reflections on the terms “disability” and “functional diversity”; others, more practical ones, seek to improve knowledge of the legal and factual situations of women with disabilities in relation to employment. Their purpose is to offer guidelines in solving the problems that hinder the full inclusion of this group in social and working life. A critical discussion of current legislation and collective bargaining forms the basis of reflections on measures that could be introduced to substantially change the ways and methods used to include people with disabilities in the workplace, in particular, women.
