Ten years ago, the European Union ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It reaffirms that persons with disabilities are entitled to their human rights and fundamental freedoms. The EU worked to ensure that all our actions are fully inclusive of persons with disabilities while promoting a Europe without obstacles, for this to happen. Structural discrimination keeps millions of Europeans with disabilities on the margins of our societies. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted these inequalities.
The EU’s commitment to full UN CRPD implementation will be clearly outlined in the strengthened strategy on the rights of persons with disabilities for 2021-2030, that the European Commission will present in the coming weeks.
