The Protection and Empowerment of People With Disabilities in Islamic Law

AbstractVictims of sexual violence against persons with disabilities need legal protection through justice or social care, legislation is one of the references in the process of handling sexual violence because so far women have had difficulty in obtaining justice. With the aim of providing Islamic law in order to realize a better and fairer human life, as well as for the recovery of victims of sexual violence so that it can be accepted in the community and discrimination is not done which can make victims more traumatized. From the research that has been done that many people with disabilities who do not know the legal protection for them to avoid violence, harassment or taking away their rights are often ignored because of physical deficiencies, the positive law lies in the fact that the law is made and can be erased from everything acts that have been done by humans and are independent of the norms themselves.Keywords: legal protection; victims of violenceAbstrakKorban kekerasan seksual pada kaum difabel memerlukan perlindungan hukum baik melalui peradilan ataupun kepedulian sosial, perundang-undangan adalah salah satu rujukan dalam proses penanganan tindak kekerasan seksual karena selama ini perempuan sulit mendapatkan keadilan. Dengan tujuan memberikan penetapan hukum islam agar dapat mewujudkan kehidupan manusia yang lebih baik dan adil, sebagaimana untuk pemulihan pada korban kekerasan seksual agar dapat diterima dimasyarakat dan tidak dilakukannya diskriminasi yang dapat membuat korban menjadi lebih trauma. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan bahwa banyak kaum difabel yang belum mengetahui perlindungan hukum kepada mereka agar terhindar dari tindak kekerasan, pelecehan atau pengambilan hak mereka yang seringkali diabaikan karena dengan adanya kekurangan fisik, dalam hukum positif terletak pada fakta bahwa hukum dibuat dan dapat dihapuskan dari segala perbuatan yang telah dilakukan oleh manusia itu dan terlepas dari norma-norma itu sendiri.Kata kunci: korban kekerasan; perlindungan hukum

The Family

In this world not all humans have normal conditions in terms of quality and quantity of their limbs. Such is the case with families with intellectual disabilities (tunagrahita) in Jambon, Ponorogo. In such conditions, people with disabilities need improvisation and variety in managing and managing their household because if seen from their intellectual abilities they are not able to become leaders in the family. The purpose of this study was to determine the role and review of Islamic law in fulfilling the obligations of husbands with intellectual disabilities (tunagrahita) to form a Sakinah family. The type of research carried out is field research using qualitative methods, while data collection techniques used are interviews and observations. The conclusion of this study is that the husband's role in earning the main living is included in the mu'sir group, the parties who are obliged to help are relatives, the state or wealthy Muslims. And for his role as a leader in the family, this husband with intellectual disability (tunagrahita) cannot be burdened with taklif law, especially Ahliyyah Al'ada'. So external factors (family, relatives, and others) are more dominant in them in forming a sakinah family.

Language Pathology

In countries other than the United States, the study and practice of speech-language pathology is little known or nonexistent. Recognition of professionals in the field is minimal. Speech-language pathologists in countries where speech-language pathology is a widely recognized and respected profession often seek to share their expertise in places where little support is available for individuals with communication disorders. The Peace Corps offers a unique, long-term volunteer opportunity to people with a variety of backgrounds, including speech-language pathologists. Though Peace Corps programs do not specifically focus on speech-language pathology, many are easily adapted to the profession because they support populations of people with disabilities. This article describes how the needs of local children with communication disorders are readily addressed by a Special Education Peace Corps volunteer.
