CREA’s Disability, Sexuality, and Rights Online Institute is a six weeks long online course begun in 2010, which focuses on a conceptual study of disability, gender and sexuality, and its inter-linkages with issues of feminism, race, public health, development, violence, media, representation and law, amongst others. It is intended for practitioners and has a strong component on activists’ initiatives that integrate disability, sexuality, and rights.

About the Course

The Disability, Sexuality, and Rights Online Institute provides a study of theory and practice for activists, practitioners, academics and human rights actors working areas such as disability rights, gender rights, development, sexual and reproductive health, sexuality, media, and law. The aim is to create awareness about how disability, sexuality and rights intersect, build a political perspective on how the sexual rights of persons with disabilities can be upheld, and provide knowledge on mechanisms for building more inclusive sexual rights advocacy. Participants develop their ability to work in inclusive and holistic ways that further human rights and social justice. CREA convened the first Disability, Sexuality, and Rights Online Institute in 2010. After six successful Institutes, we now have a wide ranging alumni base spread across the globe.

Why take this course?

Here's what our alumni had to say about it -

"This course provided a great opportunity for me to systematically grasp knowledge and good practices about disability and sexuality. At different points it also prompted me to reflect on my personal experience as a woman with disability, and to use that as a resource of learning."

Zhying Ma, DSROI Alumni, 2016

·     Disabled people are often excluded or discriminated against in relation to their sexuality by health, development, and rights organisations because they are not considered to be sexual or they are thought to be sexually vulnerable or uncontrolled. Sexuality issues and rights of disabled people are often disregarded in favor of issues that are considered more pressing and appropriate like employment and physical access.
·     This course will look at why sexual and disability justices matter to us all, with or without disabilities. It will look at evolving theories of sexuality, disability, disability justice and human rights, including embodiment, intersectionality and crip theory.
·     We will consider differing representations of disability and sexuality across the globe, and ask why and how representation is important.
·     We will examine violence against disabled women, and consider barriers and potential in providing sexual and reproductive healthcare for women with disabilities.
·     We will discuss how to put rights into practice, from the local to the global level: UN Conventions and their limitations and use; national laws and their strengthening; and community actions in their application to different disabilities.
·     Over the years the course has been adapted for accessibility across varying disabilities. We endeavor to keep working with participants to provide differing reasonable accommodations as per the needs of the participants.
·     Our faculty are activists, practitioners, academics, from across the globe who have years of engagement in the field of disability and sexuality.
·     Our Teaching Assistants work with a group of dedicated participants, along with the CREA team, to ensure mentoring and support is provided to the participants.

This year we will also be offering a self-paced mode, allowing participants to engage with the material at a pace compatible with individual time frames. The self-paced mode, however, will involve participants working on their own without the benefit of faculty input and live interactions. Look out for more details in the coming month!


Format and Workload

The course will be conducted entirely online, and entirely in English. No special technology is required, and information about all necessary applications and platforms such as Microsoft Word, Power Point, Drop Box, etc. will be provided to selected candidates at least two weeks before the course begins. The Institute will be conducted mostly in virtual time, with some discussions planned for real time. The Institute will use diverse methodology such as power points, videos (with subtitles), readings, chats/ discussions and web conferencing. Participants will also be required to submit a final project. Although the course is introductory, the work will be challenging, including reading and discussion of complex theory. We encourage active engagement so participants can learn from each other’s thoughts and experiences.

Course participation will require between 8-12 hours per week, depending on participants’ capacity. Each week’s requirements can be completed at the convenience of participants as long as it is within broader time parameters. Participants will be expected to participate in the entire course and complete all assignments, as far as possible

Participants

The Disability, Sexuality, and Rights Institute is an introductory level course on the intersections of these issues. Independent activists and practitioners in development, sexuality, health, media, and rights NGOs and GOs worldwide are encouraged to apply. Thirty-five to forty participants will be selected based on demonstrated interest in disability and sexuality, and applicability to their work. Practitioners will be given preference over students, researchers, and academics.

Accessibility

People with disabilities are encouraged to apply for the Institute. The course has been designed and tested to be accessible to people with visual and hearing impairments. There is ongoing efforts to meet accessibility requirements of people with other support needs as well.

Costs

Participants are required to pay a registration fee of USD 60 to contribute towards course expenses. Fee waiver is available on request for a very small percentage of participants on need basis (please refer to the application form).
