The right to equality in the work place for persons with physical disablities in Malawi : does the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilites offer any hope?

The study is critically analysing the current legal framework in Malawi in so far as the right to equality and
non-discrimination in the work place and the right to work for people with physical disabilities (PWPDs) is concerned. The paper will assess whether Malawi’s legal framework effectively protects the right to equality and non-discrimination in the work place for PWPDs in conformity with international standards. Finally, the paper will, in the event that Malawi’s legal framework does not conform to international standards, offer suggestions on how it can
be reformed to comply with international standards, especially the Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities / Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2008. / A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa).
