How does the South Korean state protect children with disabilities?
[ Answer? ] There are series of legal provisions were put in place to protect such children. There were no legislative or social grounds for discrimination against or neglect of children with disabilities in the country. Local government organs paid subsidies to families which had children with disabilities. There is cause for concerned that societal discrimination against children is widespread and prevents these children from enjoying their right to "a full and decent life, in conditions which ensure dignity, promote self-reliance and facilitate the child's active participation". In particular, a significant number of children with disabilities are abandoned each year, that many cannot attend school and when they do attend school they are segregated from other students.
