OHCHR Guidelines on COVID-19 and the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights developed a guide on COVID-19 and the rights of persons with disabilities to raise awareness of the risks of the virus and to lead governments to provide better responses that can ease the disproportionate impact experienced by persons with disabilities.

 This guidance aims to:

• bring awareness of the pandemic's impact on persons with disabilities and their rights;
• draw attention to some promising practices already being undertaken around the world;
• identify key actions for States and other stakeholders; and
• provide resources for further learning about ensuring rights-based COVID-19 responses inclusive of persons with disabilities.
