Abstract

Disabled children are at the crossroad of two identities that taken together reinforce their marginalized position in society. They can call upon two human rights treaties, namely the Convention on Rights of the Child (CRC) and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). While both human rights treaties give disabled children a lot of consideration, they view these children predominantly from the perspective of a single identity, that is, as children first or as disabled people first. The chapter argues that a joint reading of these human rights treies can help fill the gap left by each of them individually. It also highlights the utility of such an intersectional approach through an analysis of the right of disabled children to education.
