Saxony-Anhalt’s bold push for disability inclusion on global awareness day

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, organisations in Saxony-Anhalt are pushing for greater accessibility and inclusion. The call comes as barriers in daily life still prevent many from fully participating in society. Advocacy groups argue that equal rights should not rely on goodwill but on a system that works for everyone.

AWO Saxony-Anhalt is leading efforts to make inclusion a reality across all areas of life. The organisation supports people with disabilities and their families, pushing for improvements in education, public spaces, and housing. They argue that accessibility is a fundamental right, not an optional extra.

The push for accessibility in Saxony-Anhalt reflects a broader demand for systemic change. Organisations are working to ensure that participation does not depend on individual goodwill but on reliable structures. Their goal is a society where everyone, regardless of ability, can take part fully and independently.
