Persons with disabilities in Europe should enjoy fully their fundamental rights, have equal opportunities, and not face discrimination. Children with disabilities have the same rights as able- bodied children, e.g. the right to education, early childhood education and care, but often this does not happen in practice. Persons with disabilities are also targeted by hate speech and bullying, including in education institutions. New indicators will also cover children with disabilities.
