Tell the world about your human rights
-
Human rights are rights we all have.
Human rights help us have a good life with freedom and respect.
-
Human rights laws are made by the United Nations.
The United Nations is made up of governments from 193 countries.
-
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a law that protects and promotes our rights.
It is called the CRPD for short.
-
Australia has signed the CRPD.
The government must protect and promote the rights of people with disability.
-
The government has to report to the United Nations on how Australia is doing at protecting our rights.
People with disability and disability organisations also write a report.
-
CID is part of the working group who will write the report in 2019.
We want to make sure the voices of people with intellectual disability are heard.
-
You can do an online survey to share your thoughts.
We want you to include
- Good things in your life
- Things that could be better
- How the government can improve things
