Nations there are 650 million disabled people on the world. According to the
results of World Disability Report more than one billion people lives with a
disability. Disabled people and their family makes up one third of the world
population.

of the benefiting the rights provided by the present laws in Turkey.

used. Medline, Scholar, Google.com, Eric and Spor Bilimleri Magazine
"disabled people", "laws for the disabled" and
"disabled rights" is scanned
with using the keywords
Findings: According to the findings; the rate of benefiting
the rights provided by the laws is very low, the disabled people do not know
their rights, they can not use the public transportation enough, and the
municipalities do not organize the streets, avenues and roads considering the
disabled. Also it is determined that the disabled do not benefit their rights enough
in the areas of transportation, public life, social and health. Employment of
the disabled, their working circumstances and their educational rights has
gained acceleration but when it is compared to the disabled population it is
inadequate.
As
a Result:
It could be said that individually and publically
informing the disabled about their rights provided by the law would make an
important contribution to the solving of the disabled people's problems.
