On 5 May 2016, disabled people and their families and Carers across Wales will cast their votes in the National Assembly for Wales Elections.

Disabled people make up over 20% of the population in Wales, which has a higher proportion of disabled people than other nations and regions of the UK.

Disabled people across Wales tell us that lack of enforcement of rights together with the impact of UK Government welfare reforms and cuts in public services have led to a loss of independence, an increase in poverty and left many feeling isolated and fearful for the future.

Our Manifesto calls to action developed by disabled people around Wales are aimed at tackling these challenges and creating an Enabling Wales where disabled people truly experience their rights and equality as citizens of a modern inclusive nation, contributing fully to its social and economic success.

Creating an Enabling Wales

“I want to live independently

in my own home.”

- Mair

The Disabled People’s Manifesto calls for:

Inclusion of an Independent Living (Wales) Bill in the Legislative Programme for the Fifth Assembly 2016-2021

Welsh Government and the National Assembly for Wales to recognise and pay due regard to their responsibilities in fully implementing the UN Convention of the Rights of Disabled People (UNCRPD) across government policy and legislation

A Commission of Inquiry involving disabled people and their organisations to consider options to strengthen the enforcement of disabled people’s rights, equality and independence in Wales, including devolving powers over equality legislation to Welsh Government.

Eradication of disability poverty in Wales by 2030

A determination to tackle Disability Hate Crime must be shown by leaders.

“My independence stems from my

work”

- Trevor

“I want to be treated as a

human being.”

- Sarah

“I want to have access to my

local shops and facilities.”

- Lee

Ar 5 Mai 2016, bydd pobl anabl, eu teuluoedd a’u cynhalwyr ar draws y wlad yn pleidleisio yn etholiadau Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru.

Mae pobl anabl yn cynrychioli dros 20% o boblogaeth Cymru, cyfran uwch o bobl anabl na phob cenedl a rhanbarth arall yn y Deyrnas Unedig.

Yn ôl pobl anabl o bob rhan o’r wlad mae diffyg gweithredu hawliau ynghyd ag effaith diwygiadau lles a thorri gwasanaethau cyhoeddus gan Lywodraeth San Steffan wedi arwain at golli annibyniaeth, cynyddu tlodi a gadael llawer o bobl anabl yn teimlo’n unig ac yn ofnus am y dyfodol.

Datblygwyd ein Maniffesto gan bobl anabl ar draws y wlad gyda’r nod o daclo’r heriau hyn a Galluogi Cymru er sicrhau hawliau a chydraddoldeb fel dinasyddion cenedl gynhwysol a modern, gan gyfrannu’n llawn at ei llwyddiant economaidd a chymdeithasol.

Galluogi Cymru

“Rwyf am fyw’n annibynnol yn fy nghartref fy hun.”

Comisiwn Ymchwilio yn cynnwys pobl anabl a’u cyrff i ystyried opsiynau i gryfhau gweithredu hawliau, cydraddoldeb ac annibyniaeth pobl anabl yng Nghymru, yn cynnwys datganoli pwerau dros ddeddfwriaeth gydraddoldeb i Lywodraeth Cymru
