The Easy-to-read version of this text is available here.

Despite progress in many areas, persons with disabilities still face considerable barriers in access to healthcare, education, employment, leisure activities and participation in political life.

This issue is not merely a concern for persons with disabilities or advocacy groups but for society as a whole.

Together for Rights campaigns for everyone to enjoy their rights and live as equals in a genuine Union of Equality.

Our goal is to show persons with disabilities, their support network and citizens at large what the EU is doing to ensure that persons with disabilities can effectively exercise their rights.
