Disability Rights
These groups work to achieve fair and equal rights for people with disabilities, ensuring their opportunities to participate in society, both physically and digitally are unhindered.
By enshrining these rights in law, both domestically and internationally, they work toward a world where being born with a disability, or acquiring one during your life, will not negatively impact your opportunities.
