- Right to Education: Individuals with disabilities have the right to inclusive education that accommodates their specific needs. This involves providing reasonable accommodations, accessible learning materials, and supportive environments to ensure equal access to quality education.
- Right to Employment: People with disabilities should have equal opportunities for employment and work without discrimination. Employers should provide reasonable accommodations, promote inclusive workplace practices, and ensure equal access to employment opportunities.
- Right to Healthcare: Individuals with disabilities have the right to accessible healthcare services, including preventive care, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and support services. Healthcare providers should accommodate their specific needs and ensure they receive equitable healthcare services.
