Disability Rights

96-97% of persons with disabilities in developing countries have no access to the rehabilitation services they need to enable them to participate in society.

An estimated 98% of children with disabilities in developing countries receive no education.

Adults with disabilities are 3 times more likely than non-disabled people to be unemployed and live in real poverty.
