| dc.description.abstract | This work analyses the current Tanzanian legal framework on the right to work and equality in the workplace for persons with disabilities (PWDs). The paper examines the extent and effectiveness of the provisions in the Disability Act of 2010 and other laws that govern right to employment to determine the compliance of this Act with international human rights standards. Moreover, the challenges experienced by PWDs are explored in as far as their right to work and equality in the workplace in Tanzania are concerned. Secondary data are employed and reviewed. It has been found that, although Tanzania's Persons with Disabilities Act of 2010 demonstrates a concerted commitment to archive what is best for PWDs, there is still inadequate implementation of laws that address the entitlement of people with disabilities in Tanzania. Hence, this work has made several recommendations to ensure adequate implementation of laws and rights for PWDs. | |
