The National Council for Disability (CONADIS) says it is starting a national consultation process to create a new law on the rights of disabled people.
CONADIS director Magino Corporan Lorenzo announced to the press that the discussions would begin in the south on 4 December and take three days.
He said that around 12.3% of Dominicans have some sort of disability and CONADIS wants to ensure that social policies include disabled people and foster a culture of inclusivity.
