  • Why RatifyNow?

    "We see this as a chance for the world to no longer think of people with disabilities as 'the ruin of what has been dreamt' but rather imagine using the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities so that we can, with supports, become our own dreams."

    South Africa Urged to Employ People with Disabilities; Implement Disability Rights Treaty

    By Andrea Shettle, MSW | August 22, 2008

    A minister in the South African president’s office, Dr. Essop Pahad, has urged government agencies to accelerate progress toward employing a higher number of workers with disabilities, allAfrica.com has reported ("Govt Depts Encouraged to Employ People with Disability").  Dr. Pahad also urged that government agencies meet various other goals in respecting the rights of people with disabilities.  He pointed out that South Africa has ratified the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)–which now legally obligates them to protect a wide range of human rights for people with disabilities.

    The CRPD is the first legally-binding, international treaty to protect the human rights of people with disabilities.  A few examples of the rights that it covers include access to justice; freedom from exploitation and violence; personal mobility; right to privacy; and many more.  Article 27 of the CRPD covers the right to work and employment; and Article 28 of the CRPD covers the right to an adequate standard of living and social protection.
