What is disability?

Disability is a normal condition of human diversity.

Disability isConvention on the Rights

of Persons with Disabilities

a result of the interaction

between persons with

impairments and attitudinal

and environmental barriers

that hinder their full and

effective participation in

society on an equal basis

with others.

Disability is a human rights issue.

Human rightsare

rights inherent to all

human beings, whatever our

nationality, place of

residence, sex, national

or ethnic origin, colour,

religion, language, or any

other status. We are all

equally entitled to our

human rights without

discrimination.

More than ever we need protection of human rights.

The human rights based approach means describing situations not in terms of human needs, or areas of development, but in terms of the obligation to respond to the rights of individuals. This empowers people to demand justice as a right, not as a charity.

Mary Robinson, Former High Commissioner for Human Rights
