Inclusive Education and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: A Comprehensive Reflection

Abstract

It is incumbent upon both the state and society to institute protective measures for individuals with disabilities,
recognizing this as a matter of human rights. In alignment with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: individuals with disabilities are entitled to the full spectrum of rights. ensuring their freedom for the complete enjoyment of their entitlements.  This paper concentrates on three fundamental rights crucial for the dignified existence of individuals with disabilities in society: education, health, and employment. Additionally, it sheds light on a particularly vulnerable segment of society, namely women with disabilities, who may encounter various forms of discrimination in their quest for survival within the community. The study concludes that while the convention acknowledges the rights of individuals with disabilities and outlines comprehensive provisions for their basic rights in education, health, and employment, the actual implementation of these rights remains contentious.
