Issues addressed:
The campaign is structured around six issues: (1) Regarding social (and otherwise) support: the campaign demands that the French state collects and publishes reliable data about the needs for support and specific actions to respond to them; (2) Resources and compensation: the campaign demands that the level of living (purchasing power) of persons with disabilities is raised, particularly in the context of inflation. (3) Accessibility: Public and private actors must work together to allow persons with disabilities to access public services and transport. (4) Health: Health services must be adapted and accessible to persons with disabilities in full respect of their rights. (5) Education: access to education must be guaranteed, and a deeper reflection conducted on the accessibility and inclusivity of the education system; teachers should be supported and trained, given the right means to achieve this; (6) Protection of families: the state must better protect families and carers of persons with disabilities and raise obstacles that are created and aggravated for persons with disabilities and their families, and so that their fundamental rights are respected.
