The UN CRPD (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities)

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an international treaty adopted in 2006 that aims to protect the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. It emphasizes their equal status in society, advocating for their full participation in all aspects of life, including education, work, and community activities. The CRPD promotes accessibility, non-discrimination, and respect for individual autonomy, encouraging countries to take action to ensure these rights are upheld. By ratifying the CRPD, nations commit to creating inclusive environments and addressing barriers faced by persons with disabilities.
