The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities states that “persons
with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or
sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full
and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others” (Article 1). This
includes attitudes that limit the social participation of persons with disabilities in the
concept of disabilities (text of the CRPD).
Gender refers to the “characteristics of women and men that are socially constructed”
(WHO). Gender expression refers to expressions of gender with actions or behavior,
and gender identity refers to how individuals feel and experience their awareness
and sex characteristics of the body. No one should be discriminated due to their
gender expression, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The UN Committee on
the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) states that
discrimination towards women based on sex and gender is inevitably related to
discrimination towards lesbians, bisexuals, transgender, and intersexual people along
with race and disabilities ((WHO, Gender mainstreaming for health managers: a
practical approach, 2011, General recommendation No. 35 on gender-based violence
against women, updating general recommendation No. 19, CEDAW/C/GC/35, 14
July 2017). Refer to the International Labour Organization, Information paper on
protection against sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and sexual
characteristics (SOGIESC) discrimination, 2019 for more details.
Racial hate speech includes “natives, groups based on heredity, those who are not
citizens including migrant workers, refugees and exiles” (UN Committee on the
Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), General recommendation No. 35:
Combating racist hate speech, 26 September 2013, CERD/C/GC/35).
