"We would like to have an equal chance to study and work so that we can lead an equal life compared to other people," commented a man with vision disabilities at a recent consultation about Millennium Development Goals as they relate to Vietnamese with disabilities. Vietnam adopted a disability rights law in 2010 and last December the National Assembly ratified the UN treaty on the rights of people with disabilities. Come to a discussion with a U.S. legal expert on how to "make the rights real" and create a friendly and enabling environment.<br>
