Imagine a world where your fundamental rights to make decisions about your own life – your finances, your health, your relationships – are universally respected, regardless of who you are. This isn't just an ideal; it's a fundamental human right enshrined in international law, and it's at the heart of our new blog series: "Equal Recognition Before the Law for Persons with Disabilities."
For far too long, persons with disabilities have faced a reality where these crucial decisions could be taken away from them, not due to any wrongdoing, but simply because of their disability. This series will delve into the revolutionary concept of "equal recognition before the law," exploring how this principle is transforming societies globally and empowering individuals with disabilities to live lives of dignity, autonomy, and self-determination.
Join us as we embark on this journey to understand the foundation, blueprint, global progress, and best practices in realizing equal recognition before the law for all. We'll unpack the pivotal international frameworks, highlight inspiring examples of change, and confront the persistent challenges that demand our collective attention.
Stay tuned for our first post, "Beyond Charity: Understanding the Cornerstone of Disability Rights – Legal Capacity," where we'll lay the groundwork for this essential discussion.
