Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Disabled Persons) Convention, 1983

Okay kiddo, so let me explain what vocational rehabilitation and employment for disabled people convention is all about in a way that you can understand.

Sometimes people get hurt or sick and it makes it hard for them to do things that other people can do easily. This is called being "disabled". It might be hard for someone with a bad back to lift heavy things, or for someone who can't see very well to read small words.

The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Convention is like a set of rules that different countries agreed to follow so they can help disabled people find jobs and get the training they need to be able to work. It's like a guide to help countries make sure that disabled people are treated fairly and given the same opportunities as everyone else.

One of the most important things that the convention says is that disabled people should be able to get the training and education they need to have the skills to find a job. It also says that countries should make sure that employers don't discriminate against someone just because they have a disability. Basically, it means that if someone has the skills and ability to do a job, they should have a chance to do it no matter whether they have a disability or not.

So, the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Convention helps disabled people get the support they need to learn new skills, find jobs and be treated fairly at work. It's an important guide that helps countries make sure that everyone has the same opportunities to work and contribute to society.
