It should be
"Our Rights and Our Responsibilities"

The moment you say 'They' one alientaes them from the society. It is about including them all.

Hi and thanks for comment.
I think it was meant as the right of the disabled people and was written like that because not everybody are disabled. The cause is noble in all cases.
