This report highlights the need for concerted action by governments to address disability awareness across all areas of government administration, business and the community. Particular attention is drawn to the need for education on inclusive practices for professionals in media, education, employment, health and the justice systems.

Compliance with many of the articles in the CRPD relies heavily on accessible infrastructure, transport and telecommunication.
