Abstract des Autors
Even though the right to participate in sport, recreation and play is stipulated in the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a stand-alone provision, it is often treated as a ‘second class right’. This paper critically investigates challenges of realizing this right in the context of Ethiopia. Findings are based on wheelchair basketball trainings held in Ethiopia for persons with physical disabilities in 2015 as a case study and from follow-up data to assess the impact of the trainings. Firstly, inequalities in structures related to disability sports between the Global North and South are described. Secondly, examples of discrimination between groups within disability communities are shown. Lastly, the complex nature of realizing the rights of persons with disabilities is examined in the context of accessibility and sports. In conclusion, we summarize the key components for genuine implementation of ‘Sports for all’.
