People with disabilities should enjoy human rights and fundamental freedoms equal to others. All individuals, disabled and non-disabled, are equal before the law and should therefore enjoy equal access and equal participation in all areas of life, without any form of discrimination. Examples of rights that people with disabilities should enjoy equal to others:

• The right to freedom and personal security.

• The right to live independently and without discrimination in society.

• The right to freedom of expression and opinion.

• Right to start a family.

• Right to a home.

• Right to education.

• Right to healthcare.

• Right to work.

• The right to vote and be elected.

• The right to participate in cultural life.

Where disabled people have rights that are impaired or suspected, it is necessary to take measures to correct and prevent this happening. Disabled people should be available, among other things;

• support services that are essential for its participation in society without discrimination,

• housing in accordance with its needs and preferences, and

• social services that enable them to live in their own homes and contribute to their full participation in society.
