Judy Heumann, a renowned advocate for the rights of disabled people, has died at the age of 75.

Heumann was an internationally recognised leader of the disability rights movement whose activism led to the implementation of major legislation in the United States.

Her campaigning career eventually received significant recognition and she served in the Clinton administration and was appointed special advisor on international disability rights by Barack Obama.
