What we're doing
The erosion of Disabled people’s human rights has been rapid and severe.
We have gone from being the group hit hardest by a decade of austerity, to facing disproportionate deaths and barriers to care during the pandemic, and now find ourselves at the sharp end of the cost-of-living crisis.
Disabled people need rights, not charity, an ambitious and radical Disability Strategy that overcomes systemic exclusions, and genuine co-production and engagement from the Government.
The Disability Rights UK Policy team are taking action on the following areas.
Disabled People's Manifesto
There are 14 million Disabled people in the UK, making up a fifth of the population.
As Disabled people and Disabled-led organisations, we have come together to present our demands to the Government, urging them to institute a radical programme of reforms, tackling systemic oppression and creating a society where everyone is valued and treated equally.
