Background
These drastic cuts threaten to plunge disabled individuals and those deemed unfit for work into severe poverty by slashing critical financial support. They undermine human rights, including the right to a decent standard of living, private and family life, and non-discrimination, and may force vulnerable citizens into unsuitable employment. The government must adopt fair sustainable fiscal policies, invest in programs, and uphold its legal duty to safeguard every citizen’s dignity and welfare.
