FOR bigger transparency in the distribution and use of funds for disability projects
- an answer to the National Council of Disabled People’s Organisations (NSIOS) latest campaign
We would like to give an answer to the latest campaign of the National Council of Disabled People’s Organisations, who claims that there is a great injustice and doom coming upon disabled people due to the proposal to change the lottery foundation board structure.
We feel it was about time, after so many calls for better transparency, for monitoring of the use of funds, for elimination of the conflict of interest, that the group of MPs proposed an Act, that will change the structure of the decision making body of lottery foundation (Foundation for financing invalid and humanitarian organisations).

25.05.2010, Ljubljana at 11. a.m.
The UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities must become a reality!
FOR THE RESPECT OF HUMAN RIGHTS!
FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES!
FOR ELIMINATION OF DISCRIMINATION!
On Tuesday 25.5.2010 at 11 a.m. we will gather in Argentinski Park in the centre of Ljubljana. At 12 a.m. we will begin to march toward the Office of the President of the Republic and toward the National Assembly.
WE DEMAND
Inclusive educational system! It represents the implementation of social justice because it creates a society of equal opportunities and equality. Disabled children and adolescents should be integrated into mainstream schools. State shouldn’t be building special schools and institutions for them. Pupils and students must have the right and opportunity to be included into the regular educational system. Even though we have legislation which should provide for equal opportunities, in practice there are still complications with inclusion of children with special needs.
Employment in regular work places! It should be systematically encouraged. Even though we have Law on the Rehabilitation and Employment of disabled persons, many services which are enshrined in it, are not carried out. For example in five years not even one PA placement on the workplace was realised. This Law also excludes all those who have the disability status under the Law on Social care of mentally and physically disabled.
Deinstitutionalization – Closing down the institutions for persons with disabilities! Segregation of individuals in the institutions is a violation of human rights itself. It is necessary that state institutions and service providers understand the need to ensure diversion of financial resources away from institutional care towards community services to enable Independent living for disabled. This is the only way which provides an individual with equal opportunities and participation.
Personal assistance according to ENIL principles! Government proposal does not give a clear definition of what constitutes the right to PA, also it doesn’t arise out of the concept of International movement on Independent living and it is based on models of care, that is happening because the Law on PA is based on the Law on long – term care which is aimed to older populations. We demand strict adherence of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, especially to article 19 which talks about the right to PA. The proposal separates individuals according to their diagnosis, in article 6 of the Law on PA, there is a condition which excludes all persons who are unable to plan their own daily activities; that represents exclusion of persons that are deprived of their capacity to exercise or they have signs of mental impairments. This represents a serious form of discrimination and also an attempt to exclude a large group of people that are in need of PA. The assessment of needs must be carried out by independent bodies as a financial co-source for services should also include funding from the Foundation of Disability and Humanitarian organizations.
ACCESSIBILITY!
Architectural accessibility – many public buildings are still inaccessible to disabled persons who use wheelchairs.
Information accessibility – all important documents should be issued in the form that is accessible to sensory and intellectually disabled persons. National TV station should also introduce subtitling and sign language translation, at least for all shows of their own production. Web sites of public institutions should also be consistent with standards of accessibility for sensory disabled.
Public transport accessibility – disabled persons have the right to use public transport. All public transport should be accessible to persons that are using wheelchairs. Stations, buses and trains should be equipped with voice information.
BRING YOUR OWN TRANSPARENTS, WHISTLES, RAINSTICKS....
… LET US BE SEEN; LET US BE HEARED!
