Laws to Protect People With Disability in China
China has made significant progress in including people with disabilities in society. They have established a legal framework protecting the rights of persons with disabilities through its Constitution (Article 34 & 35, 1982) and the Law on the Protection of Persons with Disabilities (Article 3, 1990). These laws ensure equal rights, such as voting and freedom of speech, and aim to eliminate discrimination. Additional regulations on employment (2007) and education (1994) support these protections. China signed the CRPD (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) in 2007 and ratified it in 2008 which protects and promotes the human rights of people with disabilities.
