On May 5, the European Protest Day to equality for people with disabilities is committed nationwide, a tradition that has existed for more than three decades. This day serves to draw attention to the rights and needs of people with disabilities and to fight for more inclusion in society.

The chairwoman of the advisory board of and for people with disabilities, Katja Daus, emphasizes the importance of inclusion as a human right, as is also anchored in the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabilities. The Advisory Board is actively committed to the rights of people with disabilities and would like to face everyone who refuses to include inclusion.

The European Protest Day to equality for people with disabilities is also of great importance in local communities. In many cities and regions, actions and events are organized on this day to draw attention to the concerns of people with disabilities and to sensitize more accessibility and participation.

There are numerous organizations and initiatives in Germany that work for the rights of people with disabilities. The European Protest Day is an opportunity for these groups to take their concerns to the public and to point out grievances.

In the following table, some facts on the subject of disabilities are listed in Germany:

| Factor | Statistics |
| ———————— | --———————————— | Number of people with disabilities in Germany | approx. 10.7 million |
| Share of people with disabilities in the total population | About 13% |
| Unemployment rate of people with disabilities | twice as high as in humans without disabilities |
| Share of barrier -free public buildings in Germany | Under 10% |

The European protest day for equality for people with disabilities is therefore an important opportunity to point out existing barriers and disadvantages and to stand up for an inclusive society.
