.@ScotHumanRights have marked #InternationalHumanRightsDay with its State of the Nation Report, showing economic, social & cultural rights are out of reach for too many. It highlights disability benefits do not provide a decent standard of living & are at risk of retrogression.

On #InternationalHumanRightsDay we're reflecting on GDA's 2025 Survey in which 91% of 756 respondents cited disabled people's equality & human rights as a key concern, due to disabled people being under attack & deprioritised, esp with cuts to benefits & vital supports & services

This year's UN theme for Human Rights Day is "our everyday essentials". Our State of the Nation 2025 report found that many of the rights that are essential to our everyday lives remain out of reach for many people in Scotland⬇️ ow.ly/Q66B50XFpuy
