An estimated 1.3 billion people – or 16% of global population worldwide – experience a significant disability today. Persons with disabilities have the right to the highest attainable standard of health as those without disabilities. However, the WHO Global report on health equity for persons w...ith disabilities demonstrates that while some progress has been made in recent years, the world is still far from realizing this right for many persons with disabilities who continue to die earlier, have poorer health, and experience more limitations in everyday functioning than others. These poor health outcomes are due to unfair conditions faced by persons with disabilities in all facets of life, including in the health system itself. Countries have an obligation under international human rights law to address the health inequities faced by persons with disabilities. Furthermore, the Sustainable Development Goals and global health priorities will not progress without ensuring health for all.

Informe mundial sobre la equidad sanitaria para las personas con discapacidad: resumen
Dies ist der siebte Bericht über die Entwicklung der Menschenrechtssituation in Deutschland, den das Deutsche Institut für Menschenrechte („Institut“) jährlich dem Bundestag vorlegt. Der Bericht befasst sich in diesem Jahr vertieft mit dem Recht auf Bildung von Kindern und Jugendlichen mit Be...hinderungen.

Making sure that people with disabilities get the right health care to do with their bodies, sex, relationships and having children during COVID-19
About this information
This information is about health care for people with disabilities to do with their bodies, sex, relationships and having c...hildren.
For example, the health care might help people to give birth or have safer sex and relationships.
This information is about making sure that people with disabilities can get this health care during COVID-19.
And when other big problems happen in the world.
People with disabilities have a right to get this healthcare like everyone else.
But they are often left out.
And COVID-19 has made things worse.
This information is about what countries and organizations should do now for people with disabilities.
We found out what many people with disabilities thought first.
People in this document means women and girls, men, and boys with disabilities.
It also means people with disabilities who are not the gender that people said they were when they were born.
For example, someone may be told they are a boy because of how their body looks.
But that is not who they really are. They might be a girl. Or they might not be a boy or girl.
