Aplicación de estándares internacionales de derechos humanos al derecho a la educación de las mujeres con diversidad funcional en Colombia

Abstract

When gender is accompanied by different historically marked and discriminated intersectionalities, such as gender and disability; the life experience becomes difficult, since physical and attitudinal barriers arise that affect the best development of an independent and autonomous life. Among these barriers is the difficulty of access and permanence of women with disabilities in educational spaces. This is why the purpose of this work was to critically analyze how the Colombian legal system applies international standards regarding the human right to education of women with disabilities, all through qualitative research with a descriptive approach, a methodology based on human rights and the discourse analysis technique, to deepen the understanding of the practices and policies that impact the education of these women.
