"Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons adopted in 1975"

Title: "Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons adopted in 1975"
Description: The 1960s and 1970s saw major changes in people’s attitudes towards disability. Stemming from the growth of the human rights movement and the introduction of normalisation theory internationally, Australia signed key human rights declarations of people with disabilities, the Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons (adopted in 1975). The Declaration argued that disabled people deserve to live lives “as normal and full as possible”.
