Advocacy
Nothing about us without us!
From the beginning of its work Center for Independent Living adopted this famous phrase of world disability movement, based on the principle of direct participation of persons with disabilities.
The active involvement of persons with disabilities in the ongoing elaboration of a convention on the rights of persons with disabilities has proved to be an excellent example of how the principle of full participation can be put into practice and how it can contribute to the development of truly inclusive societies, in which all voices are heard and persons with disabilities can help shape a better world for all.
