Abstract or Introduction
The outlook on disability issues and on persons with disabilities has changed throughout the centuries. From being possessed by spirits, to being born as a result of sin, persons with disabilities have suffered and have been stripped from their basic fundamental human rights. This all chnged once the United Nations enacted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which revolutionzed the way in which society looks at individuals with disabilities; from objects of charity and medical treatment into subjects with full rights and dignity.
