Recognition that people with disabilities should be treated as equal members of society is a relatively recent development. In the U.S., the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 became the international gold standard for protecting disability rights. In 2008, the UN’s Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which was inspired by the ADA, came into force and has since been ratified by more than 145 countries. An inclusive world for all. A world that will embrace people living with disabilities in all areas of life.
