Nothing about us without us
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), ratified by the EU and all member states, recognises disabled people as full rights-holders. Key articles:
• Article 9 — accessibility (built environment, transport, info, ICT). • Article 12 — equal recognition before the law. • Article 19 — living independently in the community. • Article 24 — inclusive education. • Article 27 — work and employment.
The EU's Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2021–2030) translates CRPD into actions: accessibility act, EU disability card pilot, employment package.
