If somebody in your family is disabled and you don't know what all rights does he/ she enjoy, the answer to that lies here:

  • Disabled persons have the inherent right to respect their human dignity.
  • Disabled persons have the same civil and political rights as other human beings.
  • Disabled persons are entitled to the measures designed to enable them to become as self-reliant as possible.
  • Disabled persons have the right to medical, psychological and functional treatment.
  • Disabled persons have the right to economic and social security and to a decent level of living.
  • Disabled persons are entitled to have their special needs taken into consideration at all stages of economic and social planning.
