The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) participated in the 2026 International Book and Publishing Fair (SIEL) in Rabat, Morocco, with a panel discussion on disability and culture. The event, held on May 6, 2026, focused on how Moroccan society represents disability in cultural productions.
According to CNDH statements, the panel aimed to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusive cultural policies. Speakers included human rights activists, artists with disabilities, and cultural policymakers. They discussed the need for accessible cultural spaces and the representation of people with disabilities in literature, film, and media.
The CNDH emphasized that cultural inclusion is a human right. The panel was part of the CNDH's broader efforts to monitor and advocate for the rights of persons with disabilities in Morocco, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which Morocco ratified in 2009.
