In Thanh Hóa province, Vietnam, persons with disabilities attend consultations to discuss the post-2015 Millennium Development Goals. 27 people including children, older people, men and women, with a range of impairments, discussed their expectations and aspirations for their futures, and the barriers they face. Themes emerging were employment, social protection, education, healthcare (including forced sterilisation), and the lack of implementation of national disability policies at a local level for the country’s estimated seven million persons with disabilities.
