Description: "The 2013 edition of The State of the World's Children is dedicated to the situation of children with disabilities. The report examines the barriers₃ from inaccessible buildings to dismissive attitudes, from invisibility in official statistics to vicious discrimination, that deprive children with disabilities of their rights and keep them from participating fully in society. It also lays out some of the key elements of inclusive societies that respect and protect the rights of children with disabilities, adequately support them and their families, and nurture their abilities₃ so that they may take advantage of opportunities to flourish and make their contribution to the world."--Publisher's website.
