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

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is an international treaty that aims to protect the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. Adopted in 2006, it promotes equality, accessibility, and inclusion in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and participation in society. The CRPD encourages countries to eliminate barriers that prevent people with disabilities from fully enjoying their rights and participating in their communities. It emphasizes the importance of respecting their autonomy and empowering them to make their own choices.
