Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the development of the legislation and fundamental rights that affect disabled people in everyday life. It explores the interdependency of rights and legislation, and considers the institutional practices that maintain societal inequality. Finally, it evaluates the current legislation and considers what still needs to be done in order to promote equal rights and treatment for all.
