The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) is an international treaty adopted in 2006 to protect the rights and dignity of individuals with disabilities. It aims to ensure that people with disabilities can enjoy the same rights as everyone else, promoting their full participation in society. The convention emphasizes accessibility, equality, and non-discrimination.
UNCRPD encourages countries to implement laws and policies that support the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of life, including education, employment, and healthcare. By ratifying the convention, nations commit to improving the lives of individuals with disabilities and fostering an inclusive environment.
