Impuls is a nonprofit association in Banja Luka focused on the dignity, rights and equal participation of women with disabilities. We recognize overlapping barriers relating to gender, disability, education, employment and representation. Our approach places women’s experiences, choices and voices at the centre of the conversation.

What this means in everyday life

The right to choose requires accessible information, respect for privacy and opportunities to participate in conversations. Asking a person which accommodations they prefer matters more than assumptions about their needs. Addressing physical, social and communication barriers is a shared responsibility.

Our principles

  • Respect independent decisions and individual preferences.
  • Provide understandable and accessible information.
  • Include women in decisions affecting their lives.
  • Promote cooperation without discrimination or prejudice.
