Loi handicap - 20 ans en 2025

The Disability Act turns 20!

The law of 11 February 2005 on equal rights is celebrating its 20th anniversary! It marked a major advance in the inclusion of people with disabilities, guaranteeing access to public services, education, employment and social life.

Thanks to its concrete accessibility measures, it has transformed the perception of disability and encouraged greater inclusion in everyday life. It remains an essential lever for a more inclusive society.
