Mothers of children with disabilities, who have been staging a tent protest in front of parliament building since the beginning of June, are organizing a national protest today.

They will be joined by activists from the “The system is killing us” movement from all over the country. The motto of today’s protest is “The system will not kill us”. A sitting of the working group will be held at the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs before the protest. However, the protestors say that very few of their proposals have been taken into consideration in the Persons with Disabilities Act, others are misinterpreted.
