LYU Junyan

Abstract: The construction of a barrier-free environment contains a rich connotation of human rights protection, and is closely related to the study of human rights protection in China. With the evolution of the concept of barrier-free design and the expansion of its beneficiary groups, constructing a barrier-free environment has become a basic task that benefits all members of society and meets the public needs of all the people, with its core goal expanding from the protection of the rights of the disabled to the protection of the basic rights and interests of all members of society. Building a barrier-free environment from the perspective of the Marxist human rights concept is conducive to safeguarding the people’s right to subsistence and development, and at the same time, it satisfies their demand for the right to pursue a high-quality and better life and reflects the common vision of everyone in society fully enjoying human rights. Promoting the construction of a barrier-free environment in terms of legal protection based on China’s institutional advantages can improve and innovate the country’s legislation on the construction of a barrier-free environment, so as to play an exemplary and guiding role in enhancing the international barrier-free level and enable all people to enjoy the good life created through the drive to build a barrier-free environment.
