For another year, the International Day for Persons with Disabilities, finds our state taking an unattainable grade in terms of ensuring equal rights for all citizens.
According to the Mavroayannis staff, based on international statistics, people with disabilities make up 10% of the world's population. The state has an obligation to stand by people with disabilities and to free our society from inequalities and socio-economic exclusions.
The aim is the practical and effective support of people with disabilities, through decent living, ensuring full accessibility to goods and services, for a fair and inclusive society with equal opportunities.
Therefore, our governance programme includes the following measures.
[*]Introduce a quota for hiring people with disabilities also in the private sector.
[*]Provide incentives for inclusion in employment for both people with disabilities and employers.
[*]Take effective measures to ensure in practice the accessibility of goods and services for people with disabilities.
[*]Establishment by central and local government of Care and Support Centres for adults with disabilities whose parents are deceased.
