carry the entire additional costs associated with disability, the families of children with disabilities can cope and thrive much like other families. Parents’ organizations can play a pivotal role and should be reinforced so that children with disabilities are valued, cherished and supported by their families and communities. States parties to the CRPD and the United Nations and its agencies have committed themselves to conducting awareness-raising campaigns to change attitudes towards children with disabilities and their families. Among other things, this will involve highlighting their abilities and capacities, and promoting community engagement with and by children with disabilities.

Legislation is made more meaningful when children with disabilities are informed of their right to protection from discrimination and are shown how to exercise this right. Where legislation banning discrimination on the basis of disability does not exist, disabled people’s organizations and civil society as a whole will continue to have a crucial role to play in pressing for such laws – as they do in providing services and promoting transparency and accountability. Dismantle barriers to inclusion All children’s environments – early childhood centres, schools, health facilities, public transport, playgrounds and so on – can be built to facilitate access and encourage the participation of children with disabilities alongside their peers. Universal design – the idea that all products, built environments, programmes and services should be usable to the greatest extent possible by all people, regardless of their ability, age or social status – should be applied in the construction of (continued on p. 80) Signed Convention Ratified Convention Signed Protocol Ratified Protocol Not signed Indonesia Mauritius Romania The former Yugoslav Republic Iran (Islamic Republic of) Mexico Russian Federation of Macedonia Iraq Micronesia (Federated States of) Rwanda Timor-Leste Ireland Monaco Saint Kitts and Nevis Togo Israel Mongolia Saint Lucia Tonga Italy Montenegro Saint Vincent and the Trinidad and Tobago Jamaica Morocco Grenadines Tunisia Japan Mozambique Samoa Turkey Jordan Myanmar San Marino Turkmenistan Kazakhstan Namibia Sao Tome and Principe Tuvalu Kenya Nauru Saudi Arabia Uganda Kiribati Nepal Senegal Ukraine Kuwait Netherlands Serbia United Arab Emirates Kyrgyzstan New Zealand Seychelles United Kingdom Lao People’s Nicaragua Sierra Leone United Republic of Tanzania Democratic Republic Niger Singapore United States Latvia Nigeria Slovakia Uruguay Lebanon Niue Slovenia Uzbekistan Lesotho Norway Solomon Islands Vanuatu Liberia Oman Somalia Venezuela (Bolivarian Libya Pakistan South Africa Republic of) Liechtenstein Palau South Sudanδ Viet Nam Lithuania Panama Spain Yemen Luxembourg Papua New Guinea Sri Lanka Zambia Madagascar Paraguay Sudanδ Zimbabwe Malawi Peru Suriname Malaysia Philippines Swaziland Maldives Poland Sweden Mali Portugal Switzerland Malta Qatar Syrian Arab Republic Marshall Islands Republic of Korea Tajikistan Mauritania Republic of Moldova Thailand AN AGENDA FOR ACTION 77
