Recommendations for the Ministry of Information
The Ministry of Information should draw plans and programs aimed at
raising awareness about the rights of PWDs in general and their right to
decent work in particular. The purpose of that is to change the typical
image and negative society culture towards PWDs. This could be achieved
through audio-visual and print media. Media should be guided to
emphasize importance to these issues and make known the International
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and international
standards and agreements issued by the International Labor Organization
and other agreements relevant to the right of PWDs to decent work.
