A Human Rights Approach to Gender and Disability in Primary Education: Access by a Girl Child with Profound Visual Challenges to Primary Education in Zimbabwe Samuel Deme

The book focuses on access to primary education by a girl child with profound visual challenges. The research was particularly aimed at addressing the challenges faced by a girl child with profound visual challenges since her problems are unique and are not similar to those faced by girl children who are partially sighted. . Various centres were approached with a view to establish the challenges faced by a girl child with profound visual challenges. Thus, this book acts as an informer to the law makers, policy formulators and others about critical challenges faced by a girl child with profound visual challenges in her attempt to access primary education. Intervening mechanisms need to be designed as soon as possible so as to guarantee that the girl child with profound visual challenges accesses primary education. Education is key for the self emancipation of a girl child with profound visual challenges. Without education, the girl child with profound visual challenges cannot be gainfully employed.
