Workshop on New Disability Law

in

On September 15, The World Bank will host a workshop on implementation issues for Vietnam's new Law on Disability Rights. Vietnam has shown a commitment to making development more inclusive, first as an early signatory to the UN's Convention on Rights of Disabled Persons, and then with passage this year of landmark legislation that makes commitment to remove the barriers to participation in society that many disabled people face. We hope that this event will serve as a springboard for finding ways to work together so that all citizens of Vietnam can share in the country's development.
