The United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2006; in 2014 Taiwan passed an“Act on the Implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.”Core CRPD values include non-discrimination, accessibility, self-determination, and integration; implementation emphasizes community services. Indigenous populations and disabled individuals have small populations, lower socioeconomic statuses, and greater social discrimination. Taiwan’s policies prioritize indigenous self-determination, autonomy, and cultural preservation through spatial autonomy. This approach supports differentiation from mainstream culture, unlike the CRPD emphasis on community inclusion. The CRPD social model emphasizes robust supportive welfare states, but indigenous studies scholars describe welfare states as a form of state colonization; those working in the global south perceive CRPD social models as products of northern urban areas. This study focuses on individuals in the Atayal tribal communities of Yi-Lan County, Taiwan to investigate the significance of social disabilities, social discrimination, and community services as emphasized by the CRPD. Findings reveal that disabled Atayal tribe members do not perceive mainstream discriminatory language or social disabilities as impactful, but that their social conditions represent“disabling”environments. Accordingly, the CRPD emphasis on accessible community services might not address their most pressing needs. |
