People with disabilities continue to face unacceptable barriers, challenges and discrimination in their daily lives. In addition to this, the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown measures applied by the Member States have had a disproportionate effect on people with disabilities. Therefore, the Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament has undertaken strong commitments to ensure and expand the rights of people with disabilities and calls for concrete steps towards creating an inclusive European society based on equality and full accessibility for everyone.
