There is a very well established link between negative attitudes to people with disabilities and the barriers to their rights. Disabled people and their families tell that negative attitudes affect every area of their lives – in the playground, at work, in shops, on the street.
The partnership seeks to respond to this situation by researching what civil society can do in order to improve attitudes towards disabled people and how can Human Resources departments of certain organisations be encouraged to a more accepting stance on people with disabilities? Therefore, all the partners want to fight the prejudice associated with disability, and promote the knowledge about diversity, human rights and inclusion.

The European Report on attitudes towards disability in employment context is now available.
