Disability Rights Still Unmet After Decade

A new Dutch report reveals that ten years after signing the U.N. Convention on Disability Rights, people with disabilities still face major barriers in work, education, healthcare, and social life—based on a survey of over 1,800 respondents. One-third struggle to access needed care, a quarter of students feel schools aren’t accommodating enough, and over a quarter report unequal job opportunities. These challenges often compound, creating a domino effect of exclusion. While some progress has been made, officials like Rick Lawson stress that current efforts fall short and systemic change is urgently needed to truly advance disability rights and build an inclusive society.
