Support Disability Rights International today
Dear DRI supporter,
It is hard to believe, but it has been 25 years since Disability Rights International (DRI) was founded!
In the beginning, we were trying to convince the world that disability rights were human rights, that all people – regardless of a disability – are protected by the same human rights. And due in part to our work over many years – via investigations, exposés, reports, trainings, media coverage and advocacy – the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) was born.
