Today, more than one billion individuals have impairments; these are mostly the poorest members of civilizations. Discrimination and stigmatization they go through are two major aspects in practically every society. Their inability to participate in and attend educational institutions as well as find jobs creates barriers to their development and well-being. As a result, the United Nations (UN) convention calls on all social care professionals to recognize disability as a rising human rights issue. It tackles a wide range of issues that could arise, especially during different care services and treatments. Most notably, the UN Convention aims to decrease the prejudice and stigmatization that persons with disabilities face in order to improve their inclusion in social, economic, political, and cultural situations. For instance, they are denied access to health care, jobs, and other necessary services.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) calls on nations to pass legislation against discrimination against people with disabilities, whether they are adults or children. Social caregivers should take several crucial actions to guarantee the provision of justifiable accommodating services to end discrimination. One of the fundamental tenets of the UN Convention on human rights is accessibility. It encourages all social workers to create policies that guarantee people with disabilities access to communication, information, and transportation services.
The convention guarantees comprehensive accessibility to programs, resources, and locations for people with disabilities. Culturally oriented activities are also an essential aspect of people’s life. In contemporary cultures, the Convention on the rights of Persons with disabilities is necessary. It guarantees that people with certain conditions have access to the same opportunities and rights as everyone else. It calls on people to recognize that disability is a crucial problem for human rights and that individuals affected should be accepted in society.
