2024 marks 15 years since the CRPD entered into force in Sweden. In some areas, progress has been made. However, the paradigm shift which stands at the heart of the Convention has yet to be fully implemented and several of the general commitments and specific rights have not been realised. This applies, for example, to preconditions for self-determination, participation, health, education, work, leisure, democracy and freedom. In some respects, there have been set-backs.
