| Sumario: | When one thinks of the binomial "human rights" and "disability", they are easily understood as historically intertwined. However, this is not the case. Society's relationship with People with Disabilities (PwD) has changed over time. The emphasis shifted from disregarding them, to placing emphasis on the barriers that society constructed by not taking them into account, which prevented the development of their full autonomy. As paradigms emerged, they also became intermingled, and these mixtures between models did not end up emphasizing the person and his or her rights within the society of which they are a part. Above all, the right to express oneself as a subject of rights in democratic societies. There are other mismatches around this binomial. On the one hand, to continue framing people with disabilities as a minority and therefore treat them as such. According to the latest report of the World Health Organization in November 2017, there are more than 1 billion people with disabilities worldwide, representing about 15% of the world's population.
