Disability rights are a set of legal and human rights that ensure individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities and protections under the law. These rights aim to eliminate discrimination and promote inclusion in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and public services. Organizations like ADA and UNCRPD play a crucial role in advocating for these rights globally.
The movement for disability rights has gained momentum over the years, leading to significant legislative changes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. This act prohibits discrimination based on disability and mandates reasonable accommodations in workplaces and public spaces, fostering a more inclusive society for everyone.
