Purpose of the platform
In a world full of information, sometimes there is a problem of choosing the right information that can make our lives easier.
The platform contains information about the most important areas of life for people with disabilities, such as: education, employment, independent living, accessibility, human rights, health, etc. The initiators of the platform are people with disabilities, members and associates of the Center for Independent Living of the PWD Kragujevac.
The purpose of the podrska-osi.rs platform is to unify important information for persons with disabilities, initiate discussions on various ways of improving the quality of life of these persons, improve the flow of information among PWD users, PWD organizations, institutions and institutions relevant to the field of disability. The platform is a place where people with disabilities will feel the same and equal. The content of the platform is aimed at promoting disability as a human rights issue.
The platform is guided by the principles prescribed by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, such as: respect for the innate dignity, individual autonomy of persons with disabilities, including the right to make decisions about their own lives and independence; non-discrimination; full and effective participation and involvement in all spheres of social life; respect for diversity; equality of opportunity; accessibility; equality of men and women; respecting the developmental capacities of children with disabilities and respecting the right of those children to preserve their own identity.
Who is the platform
intended for?
The platform is intended for everyone who wants to learn more about people with disabilities, their rights and opportunities. We are directed towards persons with disabilities and their families, in order to provide them with important information, legal advice and support.
Information from the platform aims to raise the level of awareness of the general public about the rights and opportunities of people with disabilities, reduce the number and level of prejudices and stereotypes, and increase the degree of tolerance for differences.
We will try to ensure that the information we provide is designed and prepared in accessible, short and simple formats.
We hope that you will recognize the possibilities of the platform that is in front of you and that you will be actively involved in its development, both in the part of individual presentations and the shared pages of the platform.
Life in a community?
People with disabilities should be given the opportunity to live in local communities as equal citizens, with the support they need to participate in everyday life. This means living in their own homes independently or with their families, going to school, to work, participating in community activities.
To ensure that people with disabilities have the same choice, control and freedom as other citizens, the practical help and support provided to them should be based on their own choices and aspirations.
