The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an international treaty that promotes the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. It encourages countries to remove barriers, ensure equal access to education, employment, and healthcare, and promote independence and inclusion in society. The goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can participate fully and equally in all aspects of life. Signed by many countries, the CRPD emphasizes respect, non-discrimination, and shared responsibility to create more accessible and inclusive communities worldwide.
