Today we thank Bohdana Ostrovska for talking to us. Based on her expertise, she presents the initiative she considers the most useful for the contemporary Ukraine: ‘Dignity in Action and the Right to Live Fully:
a Scope of Inclusion for Persons with Disability’
Bohdana speaks:
This initiative represents a comprehensive strategy aimed at ensuring that persons with disabilities, especially children, can live with dignity and respect for their human rights while promoting their inclusion and integration into modern society across all aspects of public life:
1. Access to Public Life: Ensures full participation in mobility; housing design and accommodations; services accessibility (education, medical, administrative etc.); employment and entertainment.
2. Independence and Equality: Advocates for equal opportunities, supporting their ability to work remotely, while fostering greater independence from external assistance.
3. Support for Families: Enables family members to secure fair compensation while caring for a relative with a disability.
4. Social Integration: Ability to build their social lives without bullying or stigma, promoting a sense of belonging.
5. Legal Protections: Creating and developing a legal framework to ensure protection from discrimination and violence.
6. Community Programs: Encourages local community initiatives to promote and protect human rights for individuals with disabilities.
7. Home Assistance for Children: Advocates for the rights of children with disabilities to receive assistance at home rather than being placed in closed institutions.
Many thanks, dear Bohdana!
