The Optional Protocol and disability rights in Canada

If you or someone you know has faced discrimination because of a disability, you don't have to accept that treatment. You've got options for fighting back.

One of those options is the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which you can use if all legal options within Canada are exhausted.
