Disability Rights Programme

People with (multiple) mental disabilities in Hungary are supposed to remain invisible, with the idea that they should be categorically not allowed to vote, should be afforded as little access to education and work as possible, and should behave quietly, hidden behind family or institutional walls. The Disability Rights Programme puts a spanner in the works. The struggle for the political and social rights of some 100,000 citizens is becoming wider and more intensive, and affected persons in particular are themselves becoming more active. We think this is an excellent endeavour and hope you will persevere.
