Opplysninger
The need for care and welfare services has put older people, citizens with chronicconditions and dementia as well as persons with intellectual disabilities in vulner-able situations regarding recognition as citizens with rights and duties. As docu-mented in both national and international white papers (Ministry of Children andEquality, 2016; WHO, 2017a; WHO 2017b), the human rights status for personswith disabilities is under threat and needs to be strengthened. In Norwegian andmost western societies, persons with disabilities have experienced discriminationand exclusion throughout history and has been seen as patients and a burden forsociety and the nation state rather than as citizens of equal status. As Fraser (2009)emphasizes, the social contribution of citizens in vulnerable life situations has notbeen represented or acknowledged, thus making an incomplete and deficientbackground for justice and the redistribution of welfare resources.
