The right of persons with disabilities to social protection 2015, para. 70
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The principle of non-discrimination must be respected at all stages of a social protection programme cycle, including at the design, implementation and monitoring stages. States must ensure that social protection programmes are designed, implemented and monitored in a way that takes into account the experiences of all men and women with disabilities, from the selection of beneficiaries to the delivery of services and benefits. To that end, social prot ection systems must address the structural barriers that persons with disabilities face to participate in society, including lack of accessibility.
