Question 4724 — people with disabilities

Summary

Mr. Romain Eskenazi draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the assessment of twenty years since the promulgation of the law of February 11, 2005 for equal rights and opportunities, participation and citizenship of people with disabilities. This law, although it represents a major step in the fight for equal rights, has not yet achieved the expected objectives. THE expectations of people with disabilities and their loved ones remain high. Progress remains to be made to ensure that the rights of the 12 million French people with disabilities are truly respected and applied throughout the country. In 2025, people with disabilities still encounter serious difficulties in leading a dignified and full life in society. Although France has ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2010 and created in 2020 the fifth branch of social security dedicated to autonomy, the rights of persons with disabilities and public action are still not fully aligned with international standards. In addition, the autonomy branch remains insufficiently resourced and suffers from a short-term political vision, not allowing it to respond adequately to field needs. The assessment drawn up by the Handicaps Collective, bringing together 54 associations, is clear: it is urgent to make the fundamental rights of people with disabilities effective, in particular those linked to universal accessibility and the right to compensation. Indeed, twenty years after the adoption of this emblematic law, universal accessibility, whether for buildings, transport, communication or digital, remains unfinished. Likewise, access to adequate, personalized and unhindered compensation is often a real obstacle course, making it difficult for people with disabilities to realize their life plans. Furthermore, the standard of living of people with disabilities and their loved ones remains well below that of the general population, with almost one person disabled person in four living in poverty. The basic rights to education, employment, housing and health continue to be neglected simply because of disability. Stigma, invisibility, precariousness, lack of professionals and generalized inaccessibility remain major obstacles and injustices which can no longer be tolerated in 2025. In this context, he questions him about the measures and actions that the The Government intends to put in place the rights of people with disabilities to ensure that they can live independently, with dignity and fully integrated into society, thus implementing the commitments of the law of February 11, 2005.
