Abstract	This article analyses the interplay between disability, ageing, and human rights, especially about the fundamental rights to food, shelter, and health for the population of a similar background as well as the powerless. The analyses are based on a literature review including policy documents and empirical findings. The focus is on how individuals with disabilities and older adults are confronted with obstacles and inequity in acquiring basic resources and public services. This includes the necessity of bridging the gap through influencing the legislators, providing social support and noble policies that will protect the rights of these groups. Furthermore, the article points to the value of autonomy and independence by providing special help, including the part where technologies as well as community-based services and suitable housing are discussed which in turn lead to improvement in quality of life and social integration. Also, it is aimed at guaranteeing appropriate and overall healthcare coverage, prevention services, and mental health support to cater for the specific needs of those with disabilities and old ages. The article which also highlights the strategies of food insecurity tackles the sustainable agriculture, nutrition education and the food recovery initiatives. In addition, it evaluates the role of providing secure and inclusive housing options, prioritizing affordable housing programs, and enabling the improvement of dwelling for senior people and disabled individuals. The role of diverse research strategies, the engagement of stakeholders, and the adoption of an intersectional perspective as a basis for development of sound evidence-based policies and practices that safeguard the dignity, autonomy, and rights of older adults with disabilities are emphasized throughout the article. Through these rights’ prioritization and the barriers’ check, societies can embrace the idea of equality and inclusion, and ultimately achieve social justice for everyone.
