The Disability Resource and Development Vietnam (DRD Vietnam) has recently launched a website named www.luatvachinhsach.drdvietnam.com to provide the disabled with information about laws related to them.
Vo Thi Hoang Yen, head of the Ho Chi Minh City-based non-profit organization, said she hoped the site would benefit and help protect them.
The DRD Vietnam said many disabled people did not know their rights or the benefits the Government offers. They not only faced attitudinal and infrastructure barriers in Vietnam but also lacked confidence, basic education, working skills and legal knowledge, which obstruct their efforts to find jobs and get out of poverty.
The website would provide the disabled with legal advice, assist them in administrative affairs like obtaining birth and marriage certificates, licences and pensions.-
