Relationships, marriage and family are at the core of every community. Families are universally recognized as an important source of support and security. They can provide safe and stable environments that nurture the growth and development of each member from birth to old age.
Families are diverse and influenced by a range of factors including cultural, traditional and religious practices.
It is important to recognize the diversity of families and that people with disabilities have a right to establish their own families. Article 23 of CRPD states that “States Parties shall take effective and appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities in all matters relating to marriage, family, parenthood and relationships, on an equal basis with others”.
