Participation and self-determination in Wiesbaden - How inclusive are we?

People with disabilities live in Wiesbaden.

All people should have the same rights. This is called inclusion—no one should be excluded.

What role do people with disabilities play in politics?

Politics determines how the city functions. People with disabilities should have a say in these decisions.

What is politics doing to promote participation and self-determination?

  • Participation means that everyone can get involved.
  • Self-determination means that every person decides for themselves how they want to live. 

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an important law.

It states that people with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else. Wiesbaden must implement this law – today and in the future.
