The survey conducted by Afghan Landmine Survivors Organization (ALSO) interviewed 140 people (95 men and 45 women) with disabilities in Kabul, Kandahar, Balkh, Bamyan, Daikundi and Herat provinces in early March.
The interviewees said that most of people with disabilities supported the peace process and they wanted presence of their representatives in peace related institutes.
The survey shows that 90 percent participants emphasized on the protection of the rights of people with disabilities after a peace agreement.
