This chapter sets out the connection between disability and human rights, examining how persons with disabilities (including those with physical disabilities, sensory disabilities, psychosocial or mental health disabilities, and intellectual disabilities) are particularly vulnerable to exclusion and discrimination, leading to human rights violations across the world. It has been a long global struggle to recognize the rights of people with disabilities and realize the highest attainable standard of physical, mental, and social well-being, a struggle evolving across countries and culminating in the 2006 adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The provisions of the CRPD relate to three specific rights that are of particular importance to people with disabilities: legal capacity, the right to health, and the right to independent living. Yet, national implementation challenges remain, including finding space for mental health and disability in policymaking and developing models of service delivery that advance human rights.

Abstract Background A large part of disabled people have psychosocial disabilities. Importance of their inclusion is stated in many strategic documents. However, this group of people still faces many barriers in societies. Currently, deinstitutionalization is carried out in Lithuania. Well-being of people with psychosocial disabilities and their family members is affected by this process. Thus, we aimed to assess changes in well-being of family members of people with psychosocial disabilities during deinstitutionalization in Lithuania. Methods Data was collected during two stages of deinstitutionalization, in 2016 and 2019. Family members living with people with psychosocial disabilities answered anonymously to questions of Lithuanian psychological well-being scale. Respectively, 334 and 391 adults participated (13.8% of males and 86.2% of females each time). T scores and levels of well-being were calculated and compared according to socio-demographics of respondents and stage of deinstitutionalization. Results Generally, distribution of the participants did not differ by level of overall well-being between the stages of deinstitutionalization (p-value more than 0.05). Differently, place of residence, younger age, higher income and employment were associated with higher well-being. In the second phase, rural, younger, employed and full-time employed respondents had higher estimates of overall well-being (p-value less than 0.05). Also, younger and employed population had higher satisfaction with physical health, income, employment and life in Lithuania (p-value less than 0.05). In most counties of Lithuania, overall well-being of family members of people with psychosocial disabilities was in line with the average level. Conclusions Although distribution of family members of people with psychosocial disabilities by level of overall well-being had not changed from 2016 to 2019, an increase in well-being among rural, younger, employed and those with higher income was observed. Key messages Generally, overal well-being of family members of people with psychosocial disabilities had not changed during the process of deinstitutionalization in Lithuania from 2016 to 2019. Living in rural areas, younger age, higher income and employment were associated with an increase in well-being of family members of people with psychosocial disabilities.

The article focuses on the legal status of people with disabilities and their causes. We know that when people with disabilities are officially registered, their legal status is determined. This legal status, given to them, on the one hand, provides a number of benefits, on the other hand, reduces their participation in society in real life. In relation to the integration of people with disabilities into a healthy society, their employment relationships, social and medical rehabilitation play an important role. In short, the issue of employment of people with disabilities has become the main topic of the article

This study is a film text analysis study that aims to describe the disability discourse in the film What They Don't Talk When They Talk About Love (2013), which is represented and distributed to the audience regarding disability identity discourse in Indonesia today. This research is significant because of the representation of people with disabilities rarely shown as a figure and central issue. The film What They Don't Talk When They Talk About Love (2013) is a film directed by Mouly Surya that raises the big theme of the life of a person with a disability that is rarely shown primarily in presenting representations of people with disabilities that are humanist. This research method is a qualitative text-based analysis using film discourse interpretation by Jenna Wildfeuer to uncover the discourse of identity of disability in the film by doing two stages to understand and construct the meaning of the film namely the formal description of the inference process and functional analysis of the communicative purposes. The results of this study indicate that identity of disability in this film is through social interaction as something that is not bodily, but an environment that is not inclusive or discourse on the limited access of persons with hearing impairments communicating in society, through social relations persons with disabilities are shown as sexual beings and empowered over his body or discourse on sexuality and the exploration of the body of persons with disabilities, and through character representations that exist in the community or depictions of stories encountered in daily life.
