This scoping study assessed the realization of the rights for persons with disabilities in Rwanda since the signing of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) in 2008. Underpinned by the five-stage framework of Arksey and O'Malley, the scoping study examined peer-reviewed literature published between 2008 and 2017. Nine electronic databases were searched using keywords specific to disability in Rwanda. Data were charted by three reviewers according to pre-determined and emergent categories. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the data sources. A total of 60 scholarly articles met the inclusion criteria. Within the research, studies pertaining to the UN CRPD Articles of health, awareness raising, accessibility, and children with disabilities were the most published. The literature identified a movement towards the realization of the rights for persons with disabilities in Rwanda since the country signed the UN CRPD. Despite efforts to meet these rights, discrimination against persons with disabilities still exists and greater investment in the disability sector is needed, particularly for justice, social protection, and mental health services. Given the state of the evidence, concerning research gaps also exist in regards to deinstitutionalization and protection issues (i.e., violence and abuse). This consolidation of evidence may help to inform the decision-making priorities for government and civil society organizations in policy and programming and also direct future research.
本范围界定研究评估了 2008 年签署《联合国残疾人权利公约》（UN CRPD）以来，在卢旺达实现残疾人权利的情况。该研究以 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的五阶段框架为基础，对 2008 年至 2017 年期间发表的同行评议文献进行了审查。使用针对卢旺达残疾问题的特定关键词，在九个电子数据库中进行了检索。三位评审员根据预先确定和新兴的类别对数据进行了图表绘制。使用描述性统计数据来描述数据源。共有 60 篇学术文章符合纳入标准。在研究中，与 UN CRPD 健康、提高认识、无障碍和残疾儿童相关的文章是发表最多的。文献表明，卢旺达自签署《联合国残疾人权利公约》以来，一直在努力实现残疾人的权利。尽管为实现这些权利做出了努力，但对残疾人的歧视仍然存在，需要在残疾部门投入更多资金，特别是在司法、社会保护和心理健康服务方面。鉴于证据的状况，关于去机构化和保护问题（即暴力和虐待）也存在研究空白。这些证据的综合可能有助于为政府和民间社会组织在政策和规划方面的决策重点提供信息，并指导未来的研究。
