Input for OHCHR annual thematic study on the rights of persons with disabilities and digital technologies and devices, including assistive technologies

This work by Age Platform Europe focuses on the challenges of older people with disabilities in using digital technologies and their impact on the equal enjoyment of human rights in old age.

It poses a number of useful questions to better understand the positive change new technologies can bring, but also the barriers created by too rapid digitalisation and the impact it has on citizens’ autonomy, participation and dignity.

It was created in response to twelve questions posed by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
