Murtaza Sadafpur, head of the West Azerbaijan Blind Circle, said the Law on Comprehensive Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was not strictly observed.
According to the report, the association received an official license in 1996, and began operating in 1997. According to Murtaza Sadafpur, the group has 150 members, most of whom are visually impaired.
According to the Law on Employment of 3% of Persons with Disabilities, a person with education, but with physical disabilities, must be involved in the activities of the relevant institution by passing an employment examination. According to the law, if a company refuses to hire a person with a disability due to their health, then it is prohibited to hire a healthy person for the vacancy. The official of the conference said that the agencies can involve people with disabilities to work in the office and office work, as well as in the department of answering the phones of departments.
Murtaza Sadafpur noted that there are 2,923 visually impaired and partially visually impaired people in Urmu province. But now only 30-50 of them are involved in the field. Isolation of persons with disabilities from society is a serious violation of the law.
