Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 73
- Paragraph text
- The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was adopted in 2006 and entered into force in 2008. The preamble acknowledges that disability is an evolving concept, and that the full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others is negatively impacted by the interaction between persons with impairments and the attitudinal and environmental barriers that exist. The Convention is more progressive than the Standard Rules in its purpose to promote, protect and ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities and to promote respect for their inherent dignity. It also reflects the "nothing about us without us" principle of inclusion of persons with disabilities.
