Abstract
In Chinese culture, a human has multiple values, with the collective connotation being emphasized and the individual significance being noted. In the view of China’s current Constitution, our state and society have the obligations to protect and realize the rights and dignity of people with disabilities, which is also the core of the Constitution. The protection system for the rights of people with disabilities in China has taken shape with great achievements made in the aspects of safeguarding the right to rehabilitation, education, employment, full accessibility and social security. But some problems still exist, such as the large number of people with disabilities, the concept of protection for people with disabilities that needs to be improved and the accessible facilities that are not perfect. To this end, we should continue to push forward the rule of law for the cause of the people with disabilities and build a protection system for the rights and interests of the people with disabilities.
