Advancing the rights of and welfare of persons with disabilities is at the heart of the ASEAN's thrust of leaving no one behind as ASEAN's contribution to global developments, particularly to the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.In pursuit of the ASEAN's Community Vision 2025 as the strategic roadmap of ASEAN to realize a people-oriented, people centered ASEAN Community, the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community Blueprint 2025 particularly outlined specific strategies that aim to reduce barriers and ensure accessibility of persons with disabilities.As a key milestone in ASEAN, the ASEAN Enabling Masterplan 2025: Mainstreaming the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ASEAN Enabling Masterplan 2025) was adopted in November 2018.
