Extensive consultations and public hearings have been held to gather feedback and incorporate diverse perspectives into the legislative process.
“This Bill is a crucial step towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all,” said Minister of Social Affairs Ester Vilarrubla. “We are committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities have the same opportunities and enjoy the same rights as everyone else in Andorra.”
