Families and communities can support participation by listening, asking before helping and respecting independent decisions. Clear information, accessible spaces and understandable communication help. Confirm specific local resources with the relevant provider; the association does not guarantee other organizations’ services.
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.
