In 1980, Adolf Ratzka, a German disability rights activist, grew frustrated with how decisions about disabled people’s lives were made without their input. It is said that this was when he coined the phrase “Nothing About Us Without Us,” which went on to fuel a global disability rights movement and played a key role in the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This document reshaped how governments, institutions, and societies approach disability, shifting the narrative from charity and medical care to one of human rights, inclusion, and equal participation.
