There are an estimated 16 million people with disabilities in Brazil. Although 9 million of these are of working age, only 1 million are in the labor force.[1]

Brazil is a party to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, having signed the treaty on 30 March 2007 and ratified it on 1 August 2008.[2] Brazil's Law 7853 criminalizes discrimination based on disability, and other legal protections also exist.[1]

At least five major associations work to enable the participation of Brazilians with disabilities in sport.[3]
