On occasion of December 3, the International Day of Disabled Persons, the Council for Disabled Persons invited all institutions, NGOs and citizens to help improve the status of disabled persons.
Disabled persons are still viewed as invisible citizens in our society, and there is insufficient understanding of their problems in the wider community. Constant joint and synchronised actions to overcome obstacles these people are facing on a daily basis is therefore necessary, stated the Council.
The Council will continue to coordinate activities of all institutions who want to endorse full participation of disabled persons in the social, cultural, economic, civic and political life, and to help improve the citizens’ respect for the rights and the dignity of the disabled.
