Around the world, women are traditionally expected to take care of vulnerable, sick and family members with disability. Kicki Nordstrom of World Blind Union points out that exactly the same is expected of women with disabilities. How can the UN Disability Rights Convention address this issue?
This interview was conducted on May 12, 2008 at the UN event celebrating entry into force of the CRPD - Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In the words of a Hungarian delegate, this “ground-breaking treaty is the most extensively debated international convention ever, created with maximum involvement of the civil society,” and the one with extremely strong control mechanism to secure implementation.
According to the Convention’s Secretariat, this treaty defines a paradigm shift: from an approach where persons with disabilities were considered "objects" of charity, social protection and medical treatment to "subjects" with human rights, who are capable of claiming those rights and making decisions for their lives based on their free and informed consent, as well as being active members of the society.
The Convention and its Optional Protocol give universal recognition to the dignity of persons with disabilities. By ratifying these instruments, states commit to enact laws and measures to improve disability rights, and also to abolish discriminatory legislation, customs, and practices.
