The 3rd of December has been established as the World Day for Disability Rights by the United Nations. A day that reminds us of our duty and obligations towards people with disabilities, says the Movement of Ecologists - Citizens' Co-operation in a statement.
"As the Movement of Ecologists - Citizens' Co-operation, we envision a European Cyprus, a just and inclusive society, which treats the rights of all with dignity. We consider as a key priority of our political action the support by all means of the rights of disabled people."
Unfortunately, he notes, even in 2022 there are huge gaps in the implementation of accessibility especially in public buildings by people with disabilities and especially people who use wheelchairs.
"A big accessibility problem also exists on pavements."
"A big accessibility problem exists on pavements. We want a Cyprus with green and free pavements for easier movement of people with disabilities. Sidewalks that combine the shade and coolness of greenery while offering sufficient space for people with disabilities to move freely."
In conclusion they call on the state, the Government and the Parliament to be more sensitive to the issue of protecting the rights of people with disabilities.
