  6. This is our capital city Ulaanbaatar

  7. ILC “Universal Progress” • Main goal of ILC is: • to build inclusive environment for people with any disabilities • make social welfare service efficient that meets demands of persons with disabilities.

  8. Brief information There are 108,000 persons with disabilities in Mongolia: • 30% has congenital disability • 15% has severe disability

  9. Direct discrimination • Medical model of disability is dominated in our country • Negative attitude from community • Disability is determined basing on the labor ability loss

  10. Indirect discrimination • Education: Even though, the legal regulation is stated educational right of children with disabilities: • Lack of accessible schools • Lack of teacher’s knowledge • Lack of study resources • Lack of accessible infrastructure

  11. Labor and employment Even though, legal environment permits PWDs employment: • Lack of accessible environment • Lack of employer’s enthusiasm to build accessible work place • Lack of skilled PWDs

  12. Economic discrimination: The monthly government pension for PWDs is USD100 that is not enough for daily life which awakes: • dependency to family members • Maltreatment • Violence (human rights as stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of PWDs, sexual)

  13. Discrimination in health service • Do not respect independency of PWDs • Do not care psychological rehabilitation • No child from women with disabilities

  14. Lack of accessible environment to participate in the social life (crossing cut, public transport, buildings, toilet rooms) • Negative social attitude that hesitates to help PWDs • Social discrimination

  15. There is no “personal assistance system” in Mongolia which helps to PWDs to work, to educate and to receive medical service. Therefore, PWDs are dependent, non-educated, has no income and cannot fulfill their rights as stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of PWDs

  16. Thank you for your attention!
