"In a landmark victory for people with disabilities and older people, Mexican
President Manuel López Obrador signed into law the National Civil and Family
Procedure Code this summer, establishing full legal capacity and the right to
supported decision making for everyone 18 years and older. This is an essential
win for people with disabilities and older people in Mexico, who are often
stripped of their legal capacity. At the forefront of this success was Deciding
Is My Right, a coalition of organizations of people with disabilities,
organizations of older persons, other human rights organizations, and
academia."
