The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has recently published its thematic study on work and employment of persons with disabilities (CRPD, Article 27). This study, which has been developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders, including States, the International Labour Organization, regional organisations, the Special Rapporteur on Disabilities of the Commission for Social Development, civil society organisations, including organisations of persons with disabilities, and national human rights institutions, highlights good practices in promoting employment opportunities for persons with disabilities, and identifies the main challenges that States parties encounter in ensuring that persons with disabilities enjoy access to, retention of and advancement in employment on an equal basis with others.
