"PRESS RELEASE: NEW BOOK REVEALS THE TAPROOT OF DISABILITY INJUSTICE - THE LAW"
HALIFAX, NS – Dulcie McCallum’s new book, The Audacity of Inclusion: Fighting for the Equality of Persons Labelled Intellectually Disabled was released this week.
Dulcie, a renowned human rights lawyer, long-time advocate for persons with an intellectual disability, author of the Need to Know report on systemic abuse at Woodlands, and a key member of Inclusion Canada’s Strategic Litigation Committee, has released a new reader-friendly book that sheds light on the pervasive legal challenges and barriers faced by individuals and families in their pursuit for equality.
​
"The Audacity of Inclusion is a powerful reminder that at the core of the disability rights movement are families and individuals labelled intellectually disabled who want what all families want: for their family member to be supported, included, and respected. Dulcie's book of true stories captures the resilience and determination of families and self-advocates and provides a much-needed exploration of how the law, rather than continuing to be the cause of injustice, needs to focus on how to achieve meaningful equality and full inclusion for every person with an intellectual disability,” said Krista Carr, Executive Vice-President of Inclusion Canada, reflecting on the significance of the book.
