Final Report
- According to the UN-Standard rules on Equal Opportunities for people with disabilities and the EU-Charter of Civil Rights and the European Union Disability Strategy, people with learning disabilities have to be recognised as equal members and citizens of society. They should be recognised as men and women, children, adults and seniors, members of specific cultures and different ethnic groups. However, people with learning disabilities remain one of the most marginalised groups in European society, experiencing multiple discrimination.
