Information on the Implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in the Republic of Korea 2) Recommendation ① The government should come up with a system to increase broadcasting services with sign language and install an explicit provision on sign language in related laws so that it can be legally ensured. 14. Article 22. Respect for privacy 14.1 Violation of portrait rights of persons with disabilities 1) Current status and problems ① The problem of violation of personality rights of persons with disabilities was raised previously as some volunteer workers and politicians who visited welfare facilities for persons with disabilities to offer voluntary services or deliver donated goods uploaded photographs of persons with disabilities on their websites and blogs or disclosed them to the media. There were also cases where some organizations for persons with disabilities posted and distributed photographs of persons with disabilities in their leaflets or websites in order to attract sponsors. ② The fact that some workplaces and schools require their employees or students to submit photographs of them undertaking voluntary activities as evidence of their activities at such welfare facilities and that the photographs of persons with disabilities are utilized in the process have also been pointed out as problematic. ③ The Initial Report, however, fails to mention the violation of privacy of persons with disabilities that occur in welfare facilities.
