Access to rights-based support for persons with disabilities 2017, para. 28
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Against this background, States must move away from the assistentialist and medical approaches and rethink their policy and practice of care from a human rights perspective. The provision of access to support is essential for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. While the debates on political and social economy of care are receiving increasing attention from activists, researchers, States and international actors, they do not adequately address the rights of persons with disabilities. Discussions on care in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development must be inclusive of persons with disabilities and incorporate a human rights-based approach to disability. The enjoyment by all persons with disabilities of all human rights and fundamental freedoms should be at the centre of any model of support and assistance.
