CRPD stands for the
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
A convention is a treaty.
This treaty sets out the rights
of people with disabilities.

The UN CRPD states the following, for example:

• Persons with disabilities have the right to self-determination.
• Persons with disabilities have the right to work.

Every canton in Switzerland must pass its own law.
This law states that people with disabilities have rights.

Markus Schefer and his team have explained to the cantons
why this law is so important.

Markus Schefer and his team are working on a guidebook for the cantons.
This will include the following information, for example:

• What do the cantons need to know about the law?
• How can the cantons pass this law?
