TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - An undignified disaster reality for Australians with disability JO - Australian health review A1 - Chapman, Kelsey A1 - Norwood, Michael A1 - Shirota, Camila A1 - Palipana, Dinesh A1 - Kendall, Elizabeth SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Management establish the importance of ensuring the equitable protection of human rights in disaster planning, relief, and recovery. However, internationally and within Australia, the reality is one of indignity, human rights violations, and corruption. Australia is living in a perpetual state of crisis, following 3years of environmental and health disaster events. Vulnerable Australian citizens, especially people with disability, are at a great risk of human rights violations and may have restricted access to resilience-building resources that would enable them to recover. Embedding dignity into disaster management and recovery can safeguard human rights and improve outcomes for people with disability.
