Disability rights - an end to discrimination

Greens think it's unfair that despite the Disability Discrimination Act, 11 million disabled people still face discrimination, disempowerment and exclusion in education, employment and public services as well as in social, cultural and political life.

• Greens in Parliament will fight for the accessible legal process that disabled people need to put an end to this discrimination. Green MPs will challenge the government to fully support and promote independent living and to make sure the police deal firmly with disability hate crime.
• Greens in Parliament will also fight for a fair and properly funded support and care system, so that disabled people who need care can maintain their independence, and so that families and carers get the support they need too.
