$5 million, five-year campaign to raise awareness about disability issues
Singapore survey findings
• 62 per cent of the 1,000 people with disabilities surveyed do not feel they are socially included, accepted or given opportunities to achieve their potential.
• 57 per cent of people with disabilities feel they have no control over their lives.
• People with disabilities feel the public sees their differences as limitations for which they need protection and different treatment.
• Only 3 per cent of the 1,400 members of the public polled would be comfortable marrying a person with a disability.
• Only 36 per cent would be comfortable with being close friends with a disabled person.
• People view those with autism or intellectual impairments less favourably compared with people with physical disabilities.
Yesterday, the council launched a $5 million, five-year campaign to raise awareness of disability issues.
Survey findings have been used to shape the campaign, which includes talks and a website to provide guidance on how to interact with people with disabilities.
