Abstract The right for persons with disability to start a family is enshrined in Article 23 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The same convention also affirms the right to accessibility for persons with disability. In 2021, Malta passed the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability Act making the UNCRPD part of Maltese legislation. Notwithstanding these rights, persons with disability who decide to start and have a family still encounter a number of obstacles when accessing services and venues related to parenthood. Parents with disability find it harder to access services at every stage of parenthood, from family planning to pregnancy to maternity to child-rearing. Disability Equality Training for healthcare providers and other service providers working in this sector and full accessibility to all areas will ensure a more positive parenthood experience for parents with disability in Malta.

Abstract Survivor research refers to those people with lived experience of psycho-emotional distress undertaking a unique type of research that results in any societal change. Survivor research is an anathema to an academic community in that it is often biasedly seen as of a lesser integrity. There is a growing population of survivor researchers who form the Survivor Research Network to support those people to research and publish. However, gaining acceptance by peer reviewed journals remains problematic. This current issue article addresses the challenges of anonymous peer review by those who are not peers of survivor researchers. I present a case describing how reviewers from four journals chose to reject an article by a survivor researcher. The evidence is presented among views of notable survivor researchers who work in this field, also mentioning the wider challenges to all researchers seeking publication.

Abstract This article outlines recent debates in the UK on the requirement to enhance all employees’ rights to request Flexible Working by making it the default position. I consider if, and how, this change could be beneficial for disabled people when competing against non-disabled people for good quality jobs.

Abstract Serious Mental Illness (SMI) is a mental, behavioral, or emotional disorder resulting in serious functional impairment, which substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities. As of 2019, it is estimated that 13.1 million adults aged 18 or older are living with an SMI in the United States. Community-dwelling adults with SMI have identified many benefits that help with carrying out needed activities in the community but also face many barriers such as (internalized) stigma, occupational injustice, and individualization of systemic issues. It is imperative for practitioners to understand how these barriers impact participation and create better ways to understand and center the voices of this population in assessment and intervention and work to address barriers at both an individual and systems level.

Abstract The American Public Health Association (APHA) and prominent U.S. health organizations have acknowledged racism as a central cause of health inequality. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. confronts an additional public health crisis: mass impairment from Long COVID. Occupational segregation and institutionalized racism have made working-class Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) more likely to experience Long COVID. Medical gatekeepers also prevent equal access to health: BIPOC face more obstacles in their search for disability accommodations and social support. To provide health equity to the Long COVID community, Disability Studies must confront racialized understandings of chronic pain and the consequences of these meanings by centering the lived experiences of BIPOC living with chronic pain.

Abstract Azerbaijan is in the process of dismantling a system of medical model approaches to rehabilitation of people with disabilities inherited from the Soviet Union, and replacing it with a new approach to services based on social model thinking. This transformational initiative, designed to improve the lives of people with disabilities, is a priority of the EU-Azerbaijan Partnership. In Azerbaijan the voices of disabled people, their families, caregivers and representative organizations have previously been seldom heard. Now their voices will be heard alongside those of policy makers and service providers, in order to make sure that people with disabilities will become the principal architects of systems for their support in Azerbaijan.
