Currently, over 1 billion people globally are living with a disability, 93 million of whom are children. Differences exist among developed and developing countries, but people with disabilities suffer from a lack of care or access to services. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted in 2006, provides that States shall take all necessary measures to ensure the protection and safety of people with disabilities in situations of risk.
