Do you think that restricting access to facilities and services is a violation of our rights? We are sure of that.
On February 20, 2015, Kazakhstan ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with disability, and afterwards the government assumed responsibility to provide a favorable living environment for people with disability. In the short term, the Convention must speed up the process of removing barriers that prevent people with disability from fully participation in life of the society on an equal basis with other citizens.
Barrier-free environment is a public benefit and it is closely linked to social and economic development of a country. Accessibility opens the way to education, employment, treatment, recreation and an opportunity to have an independent way of living. In the course of development of the map, a function of collecting data about facilities was created - each user can freely obtain statistical data on number of public facilities accessible or inaccessible for visiting in any locality of the country or in the country as a whole. Presented data is a relevant tool reflecting a real situation in the field of creating an inclusive and barrier-free environment.

Accessible Kazakhstan is an online map of the country that displays information about accessibility of public facilities for safe and comfortable visits and use by all residents of our country.
Map users can use the service for people with limited mobility and people with special needs (these are people with disability, parents with small children in wheelchairs, the elderly, pregnant women, temporarily injured people, children aged under 7 years) and plan the most accessible and safest route, and also find out how accessible and safe a selected facility is for visiting.
Additionally, any user can mark a public place, organization, institution on the map and share public information about its accessibility. Accessibility of facilities for people with limited mobility is indicated on the map by the international traffic light system:

Green icon means that a facility is fully accessible, you can visit it and use the services yourself, without outside help.
Green icon means that a facility is fully accessible, you can visit it and use the services yourself, without outside help.
Red icon means that a facility is not accessible. It is impossible to get to the facility due to inaccessibility of its entrance group (for example, there is no ramp) or impossibility of movement inside the facility.
When entering the map, you will immediately see that many facilities are marked with a red icon. This is not because inaccessible facilities were specially entered on the map but because there are much fewer accessible and partially accessible facilities in population centers.
Organizations have to make an entrance to a building and all the premises inside it accessible to everyone but in most cases either a ramp does not meet standards or a person, even after he enters the building, cannot use services since there is furniture on his/her way in narrow corridors, there are stairs and there are no lifts, etc.
