A report has been produced to warn the United Nations of the “unrelenting attacks” disabled Scots face on their human rights.
Disabled people in Scotland are forced to choose between “eating and breathing” due to Government inaction, human rights campaigners have warned. The Scottish Independent Living Coalition has produced a report on behalf of the Scottish Human Rights Commission to warn the United Nations of the “unrelenting attacks” disabled Scots face on their human rights.
The submission went on to say: “Disabled people have been experiencing unrelenting attacks on their human rights and it is SILC’s view that the situation for disabled people overall in Scotland has not got any better since the 2016 inquiry. The root cause of all of these outcomes is a lack of meaningful consideration of, or deliberate disregard for, disabled people’s rights not only by Government, but by services and society in general.
"The Scottish Government has not done enough to ensure disabled people’s human rights are fully realised and we are pushing for protection of disabled people’s rights to employment, independent living and an adequate standard of living.” A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “We are deeply concerned about the impact of the cost crisis on people’s health and committed to protecting the rights of disabled people. The Scottish Government is doing everything within its powers and fixed budgets to ensure people, communities and businesses are supported as far as possible.
