摘要

随着国际上众多人权组织和法律文书的出现，残疾人的权利和保护日益得到保障。然而，在尼日利亚，由于一些文化习俗继续歧视残疾人，损害他们的权利和总体福祉，残疾人仍然生活在边缘。本文是一项实证研究，结合对一些现存文献的历史调查，提出:(a)文化与对残疾人的歧视、忽视和虐待之间存在联系;(b)文化习俗损害了尼日利亚残疾人的权利和总体福祉。

People with disabilities in the margins in Nigeria

ABSTRACT With the emergence of numerous human rights groups as well as legal instruments in the international arena, the rights and protection of people with disabilities are increasingly being guaranteed. However, in Nigeria, people with disabilities still live at the margins due to some cultural practices that continue to discriminate against them and undermine their rights and general wellbeing. The paper is an empirical study combined with some historical investigation of some of the extant literature to make a case that (a) there is connection between culture and the discrimination, neglect and abuse of person with disabilities; and, (b) that cultural practices undermine the rights and general wellbeing of persons living with disabilities in Nigeria.
