註釋
This report examines equality issues of women with disabilities and the women who provide supports to them in the context of caregiving relationships. Six criteria are advanced (promoting self-determination, fostering mutual recognition, encouragement of respectful interdependence, ensuring security, promoting citizenship, and democratizing decision-making) for investigating the equalities & inequalities between women with disabilities and their women supporters. Chapter 1 describes the study methodology, chapter 2 reviews critical feminist & disability theory to outline the contextual background, and chapter 3 provides a statistical overview of caregiving & women with disabilities. Chapter 4 describes & analyzes the policy context in which women receive & provide disability-related supports in Manitoba, Ontario, and Newfoundland. Chapter 5 profiles women who participated in case studies & focus groups conducted for this study. Chapter 6 describes the concept of equality and the six criteria for equality of well-being. Chapter 7 includes the qualitative analysis of equalities & inequalities in relationships between women, and chapter 8 examines the factors that account for equality. Finally, policy directions suggested by this research are proposed.
