    Wir werden alle mit unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen geboren. (Interview mit Verena Nussbaum)

    Die SPÖ hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt allen Menschen ein gutes & selbstbestimmtes Leben zu ermöglichen. 
    Menschen mit Behinderungen müssen in die Mitte unserer Gesellschaft geholt werden. SPÖ- Behindertensprecherin Verena Nussbaum kämpft in ihrer täglichen Arbeit für echte Anerkennung in Form von Lohn statt nur einem Taschengeld in den Tagesstrukuren, für den Abbau baulicher aber auch gesellschaftlicher Barrieren und ein inklusives Bildungssystem. 
    Über die folgenden Links können Sie mehr über Frau Nussbaum und ihre Arbeit erfahren:
