Report Summary
The EU post-2024 strategy for the rights of persons with disabilities focuses on eliminating barriers to full inclusion in employment, education, healthcare, and digital access. It emphasizes combating intersectional discrimination, such as against women or older individuals with disabilities, and aligns with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Key demands include binding measures like the European Disability Card and improved labor market integration through targeted support. The strategy calls for dedicated EU funding, including through the European Social Fund Plus, to ensure effective implementation. Transparency and public access to compliance monitoring are also prioritized.
