MY SOCIAL GOOD NEWS: Tangata Group Is Founded To Address The Rights of People With Disabilities Worldwide
Several disability rights scholars have joined together to form The Tangata Group, a nongovernmental organization (NGO) dedicated to promoting disability rights. The group's name is from the Maori language; "tangata" means "the essence of being human." The founders hope to consult on domestic and international human and disability rights issues, including matters involving the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the Americans with Disabilities Act, and accessibility issues.
