Abstract
10 to 15% of the world's population is affected by some disability. This may affect their ability to secure work, and other social activities. Whereas a medical model of disability sees disability as an impairment needing health care, the social model concentrates on correcting social attitudes and the tendency to label. Some of the fundamental rights are still inaccessible to Disability Movement: the right to education; the right to work; the right to private and family life; the right to protection of health and social security; the right to protection against poverty and social exclusion; the right to adequate housing, sport access etc. The right to receive support and assistance is not enough. Guaranteeing access to equal political, social, economic, sport and cultural rights is not a common political objective. Equal status, inclusion, and the right to choose is not promoted and implemented.
