In Motoichi, we carry out recruitment of cases about disability discrimination for the enforcement of law and, from citizens, cases where there was no case where we thought that we received discrimination and cases where we were troubled without appropriate consideration, good consideration We had you send many examples. In addition, we set up study group consisting of person with a disability and their families, academic experts, lawyers, etc., and, for about one year from November, 2014, Yokohama-shi We had you examine approach to be performed and, as summary of examination, had "approach of Yokohama-shi with enforcement of disability discrimination cancellation law (proposal)". Based on the contents of this proposal, after discussions in the Agency, we devised the "Effort Guidelines" as an indication of the basic way of thinking and the contents of the approach of Motoichi's approach to disability discrimination cancellation. In the future, we will promote efforts to eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities in all agencies in line with these guidelines.
