  8. Some questions: Do you think it is normal that People with a disability have the right to work on an equal basis with others? People with a disability should have the opportunity to gain a living by work freely chosen or accepted in a labour market and a work environment that is open, inclusive and accessible? Your authorities should safeguard and promote the realization of the right to work, including for those who acquire a disability during the course of employment, by taking appropriate steps, including through legislation? 3x yes? Then you are in excellent company! Many states agreed that these opinions are rights. They signed article 27 of the convention of the UN So: the times they are changing!
