The purpose of this study was to present various practical and policy measures for the promotion of human rights for persons with disabilities. To achieve this purpose, first, the current state of legal sanctions under abuse-related laws and abuse-related acts, and the current state of abuse and human rights surveys for the disabled were analyzed. Second, based on the results of these previous studies, a human rights survey was conducted and the findings were analyzed. The results are summarized as follows. First, 4.8% of respondents residential housing was found in non-residential buildings such as containers and factories. Second, 25.8% of respondents responded that they suffered abuse, and 32.6% of those said that they had experienced more than two types of abuse. Third, the rate of emotional abuse, abandonment and neglect, and physical abuse was higher in people with disabilities in their 20s or younger, and the rate of physical abuse in a person with intellectual disabilities and economic abuse, abandonment and neglect was higher in single-person households. Fourth, it was found that there were many cases where abuses were experienced almost every day or the period of abuse was over five years. Additionally, it was found that the victims were being abused by a wide variety of abusers, and most of the places where abuse took place were found to be the homes of the disabled. Fifth, as a result of analyzing whether or not to respond, 59.2% did not respond, and in particular, in the case of abandonment and neglect, 80% did not respond. Sixth, only 22.5% of respondents had experience of public and private support. Based on these findings, policy proposals such as related legislative amendments were made.
