Abstract

This paper explores the state of disability rights in Indonesia, examining the legal and social barriers that prevent persons with disabilities (PWDs) from fully participating in society. Despite progress in the development of disability-inclusive policies, such as the 2016 Disability Rights Law, significant challenges remain in areas such as education, employment, healthcare, and public accessibility. Through a qualitative analysis of existing laws, interviews with disability advocacy groups, and case studies of PWDs, the study evaluates the effectiveness of legal frameworks in protecting the rights of disabled individuals. The paper also highlights the socio-cultural stigmas that persist and hinder the integration of PWDs into mainstream society. Findings suggest that while legal protections are in place, implementation at the local level remains inconsistent, and societal attitudes toward disability continue to be exclusionary. The paper calls for a more robust social framework that goes beyond legal reforms, recommending increased public awareness campaigns, better implementation of accessibility standards, and the integration of disability rights into broader social policies.
