    "content": "countries worldwide and ratified – that is made legally binding - by 177 countries. State parties at the Convention recognized that disability is an evolving concept and that disability results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the State parties saw the need of emphasizing the importance of mainstreaming disability issues as an integral part of relevant strategies of sustainable development. They recognized that discrimination against any person on the basis of disability was a violation of the inherent dignity and worth of the human rights. Parties to the Convention also considered that persons with disabilities have the opportunity to be actively involved in decision-making processes about policies and programs, including those directly concerning them. The State Parties present recognized that women and girls with disabilities are often at greater risk of violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, both within and outside the home. The State Parties further recognized that children with disabilities should have full enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms on an equal basis with other children and obligations to that end were undertaken by State Parties to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. State Parties present highlighted the fact that a majority of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) live in conditions of poverty and in this regard, recognize the critical need to address the negative impact of poverty on PWDs."
