Let’s Make It Ours. 20 years of rights. Now let’s build belonging. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities changed how the world understands disability. Organisations of persons with disabilities have been working tirelessly for the last 20 years to make the paradigm shift to a fully inclusive world a reality for all people with disabilities. Progress has been made, but barriers, exclusion and inequalities continue to affect the lives of millions of persons with disabilities around the world. The International Disability Alliance is launching #CRPD20 – Let’s Make It Ours, a campaign marking the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, bringing together voices from across the disability movement to reflect on achievements, confront remaining gaps, and help shape the future. Because the next chapter is not only about protecting rights. It is about making technology, democracy, inclusion, the world, and the future ours. Stay with us. #CRPP20 #LetsMakeItOurs
