Inclusion is a human right. Every person has a right to be an equal member of society. It is stated thus in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Germany was one of the first countries to sign the Convention in 2007 and ratify it in 2009. With a view to its concrete implementation, the Federal Government has drawn up a National Action Plan. The aim is to enable people with disabilities to participate on an equal basis in political, social, economic, and cultural life, to create equal opportunities in education and employment and give all citizens the possibility of a self-determined place in a barrier-free society.
