Abstract

On March 30, 2007, Brazil ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol, promulgated by the United Nations (UN), through Legislative Decree 186/08 (BRASIL, 2008). This international treaty was the first to have constitutional equivalence, and its main objective is to guarantee that people with disabilities enjoy their rights on equal terms, without discrimination, and to eliminate any barriers to achieving this. Similarly, in line with the aforementioned convention, there is target 11.7 of the UN's 2030 Agenda, which also seeks to ensure the rights of people with disabilities, mainly around providing accessibility in all environments.
