- The disabled need our practical solidarity. We need freedoms, legislation and accessibility to places and businesses. They demand respect and nothing more
Twenty-eight years ago, the United Nations established December 28 as World Day of Persons with Disabilities to broaden public awareness by promoting the rights and well-being of people with disabilities in all aspects of public life.
My belief is that in order for any interventions to be meaningful for today's World Day, they must be accompanied by concrete proposals that will promote the rights and well-being of people with disabilities in all aspects of public life. In this context and in the light of today, I made contacts with the Pancyprian Federation of Associations of Parents of Children with Special Needs, as well as with several personalities-experts on the subject, in order to be informed about the difficulties and obstacles faced by people with disabilities.
Furthermore:
Not only today, but every day, each and every one of us must realize that people with disabilities are equal citizens and people with disabilities who need infrastructure to participate in social life as equals. They need our practical solidarity. We need freedoms, legislation, space and accessibility. They demand respect and nothing more.
