Our association, in partnership with the Partners Foundation for Local Development (FPDL) from Romania and Kadir Has University CIES, under the "EU-Turkey Civil Society Dialogue-III: Political Criteria Grant Program", we brought together NGOs working in the field of youth and disability rights to form a coalition for the rights-based struggle of individuals with disabilities through the project "All for Rights, Rights for All"
With this project, we aimed to:
- Increase the knowledge level of NGOs working in the field of youth or having young volunteers on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the EU's 2010-2020 Disability Strategy, and strengthen their capacity to combat discrimination based on disability.
-To strengthen communication and cooperation between NGOs working with persons with disabilities and NGOs working in the field of youth,
-Eliminate barriers between disabled and non-disabled youth that are fundamentally based on communication gaps and prejudices, and support them in jointly fighting against rights violations, inequalities, and discrimination faced by persons with disabilities in society.
The project's main activities:
– Project Kick-off Meeting and Panel
– Study Visit to Romania
