About the CRPD

Page 23/40

The articles of the CRPD cover a number of key areas, including:

  • accessibility
  • autonomy and decision-making
  • living independently in the community
  • education
  • health
  • rehabilitation
  • employment
  • social protection
  • participation in community life

The Convention obliges States Parties who have ratified the Convention (and to date more than 150 countries have done so) to take measures that implement the Convention and enforce the human rights of persons with disabilities. Click here to view the complete text of the CRPD.
