The government appointed Łukasz Krasoń to serve as plenipotentiary for the disabled and as state secretary at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy. The announcement came from the Ministry of Family and Social Policy on Thursday. Krasoń is known as a motivational speaker and a dedicated social activist who campaigns for greater inclusion of people with disabilities in public life.
The newly appointed plenipotentiary’s guiding principle is clear: public life should revolve around people’s real needs. Krasoń has stated that his mission is to ensure that social groups, especially people with disabilities, feel acknowledged and cared for in every national policy decision.
According to information published by the Ministry of Family, Krasoń is described as a trainer, motivational speaker, and a committed activist who has worked as a sustainable development specialist and CSR expert across various organizations. He has also been affiliated with the Strategy 2050 Institute, where he leads a team focused on improving the environment for people with disabilities. Together with the Institute, he helped develop the document “Full Rights,” a framework advocating proactive approaches to supporting this demographic.
In his own words, Krasoń seeks to act as an ambassador for people with disabilities and their families. He notes that the support system built for this group functions much like an insurance policy for the future, since disability can affect anyone at any stage of life. His vision emphasizes that strengthening this support network benefits society as a whole by reducing dependence on ad hoc assistance and enabling broader participation in everyday life.
Looking ahead, Krasoń expresses optimism about a forthcoming transformation in the next year. He believes that people with disabilities will be recognized as full citizens, listened to, and equipped with tools that empower them to contribute to tomorrow’s society. He envisions stronger implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and a clearer realization of Poland’s commitments under the treaty. He also hopes to provide concrete answers to questions that concern many parents about their child’s future after the parents can no longer provide day-to-day support, with responses that inspire confidence and reassurance.
Further changes in the government structure followed on December 13, when Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk took on the role of Minister of Family, Labour and Social Policy. Aleksandra Gajewska was appointed State Secretary at the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, and Sebastian Gajewski assumed the position of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs. These appointments come in the context of ongoing policy discussions and reforms aimed at strengthening protections and opportunities for people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.
Related discussions have highlighted new proposals for the disabled community, with officials indicating added funding and policy measures intended to support long-term inclusion and independence. The government has signaled a commitment to sustained investment and principled action in this area, aiming to translate high-level commitments into tangible improvements on the ground.
In summary, Krasoń’s appointment marks a deliberate step toward embedding disability-inclusive practices within the fabric of national policy. Through advocacy, strategic collaboration with research and civil society organizations, and a focus on practical supports, the aim is to create a climate where all citizens can participate fully and with dignity. The broader policy environment is expected to evolve in step with these ambitions, creating clearer paths for families and individuals seeking reliable and future-oriented assistance. This initiative reflects a broader trend toward recognizing disability rights as essential human rights and aligning national policy with international standards of inclusion and accessibility.
