Disability World
"Disability World is a web-zine dedicated to advancing an exchange of information and research about the international independent living movement of people with disabilities. The web-zine is the heart of a larger project, IDEAS for the New Millennium, funded in 1999 by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research as a five-year project.
DisabilityWorld is a unique international online magazine (e-zine), dedicated to advancing an exchange of information and expertise about the international independent living movement of people with disabilities. Published by the World Institute on Disability (WID) since 2000 and available only online, DisabilityWorld features a wide variety of news reports, international studies and research, new projects, interviews, book and film reviews. Since 2005, DisabilityWorld has had a focus on initiatives and activities to improve the status of the estimated 400 million children, youth and adults with disabilities living in poor countries. DisabilityWorld has over 30,000 regular readers from 200 countries and received an Ashoka Changemakers Award in 2002. The most recent issues of DisabilityWorld are sponsored by WID, and WID is currently seeking funds to resume publishing DisabilityWorld on a more regular basis.
DisabilityWorld also houses a literature database of more than 800 abstracts of articles primarily covering employment, independent living, governance, disabled women, disabled children, technology and appropriate technology, community based rehabilitation and rehabilitation in developing countries, all searchable by topic or country. However, due to limited resources, no new abstracts have been added since 2004."
