UNCRPD (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities)

The UNCRPD, or United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, is an international treaty aimed at ensuring people with disabilities are treated equally and have the same rights as others. It emphasizes accessibility, non-discrimination, social participation, and independence. The Convention encourages countries to remove barriers—physical, social, or legal—that prevent full inclusion, promoting respect, dignity, and equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their disabilities. It serves as a global commitment to building inclusive societies where all individuals can live, work, and participate fully.
