One Million for Disability - Sign now to make a difference!

50 million disabled citizens have the ambition to become equal citizens.

In 2007 the European Disability Forum celebrates its 10th Anniversary. 2007 is also the European Year of Equal Opportunities, as well as the 10th anniversary of the integration of Article 13 on non-discrimination in the Amsterdam Treaty. An important year for those who face discrimination and in particular, the 50 million disabled people in the European Union.

In the frame of such a key year for the European disability movement, the “1million4disability” campaign aims to:

  • Raise public and political awareness on the daily reality of Europeans with disabilities, who confront discrimination, prejudice and are denied of their most basic rights;

  • Mobilize the public opinion in favour of a stronger European disability legislation that will effectively protect the rights of disabled people, combating discrimination and enabling them to act as fully active citizens in the EU-27;

  • Stress the role and moral responsibility of the European Union to work for and protect the rights of all its citizens, with no distinction, under a coordinated and comprehensive approach;

  • Highlight that disability is above all, a Human Rights issue.

The campaign is the result of a wide and democratic consultation of the European Disability member organisations from all Europe and has been set as a priority for the next forthcoming months.
