Disability should never determine access to education, employment, public life or personal development. Equality requires recognizing barriers and appropriate accommodation. Women with disabilities should be involved in shaping decisions that affect their 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.
