Education and lifelong learning support independence and participation. Accessible environments should enable digital, communication and professional skills development. Self-advocacy and leadership are also part of personal development. Please enquire directly to confirm the availability of any specific learning opportunities.

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.
