Invalids in our country are a special human species indeed. They are allowed to do things, which are forbidden to others, they can afford even suspicious, illegitimate, illegal actions and they bare no consequences whatsoever. They have their special social programmes, invented occasionally and so sprouting like mushrooms after rain. They use this as an excuse for high funds they are getting. Invalids are special, therefore they need special social programmes, even if nobody knows, what exactly is this speciality of theirs, comparing to other social programme users. Of course, they have also »their« money, a lot of it, which they are given by the state beside the national budget. A direct pipeline via the slovenian lottery into the FIHO foundation. Purposeful expenditure is neither checked nor controlled, for all colntrolling functions are in the hands of the recipients themselves. It exists as a remnant of the socialist self-management /self-regulation, not yet been chalenged by any government, whether left or right. They are keeping the social peace of the republic, in simple words, they curb and suppress other invalids, not to emancipate, legalize, become socially and politically active or even engage in the theory of handicap.

Katarina from ENIL member YHD reports: Goran Todorović from Serbia had a
parachuting accident 4 years ago and since then he's been using a wheelchair, but
this didn't stop him from wanting to jump again, but not just jump. In October 2008 he
set a new world record jumping from an airplane in tandem from 8.000 meters, and
thus breaking the previous record of a person in a wheelchair for 1.500 meters. This
record jump was performed in Slovenia in Slovenj Gradec airport and is a part of his
campaign for raising funds for a medical treatment.

Ljubljana, December 2007
To Members of National Assembly,
In the beginning of the New Year we would like to present you a DVD made in transnational UFO partnership, financed by the EQUAL initiative and coordinated by our association. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqSHnju71Pc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ur6GF_z_g&feature=user
The films on this DVD show empowerment and independent living of the handicapped people. We wish to be citizens with full rights, responsibilities and obligations. We do not wish to live in special institutions no matter how well furnished and nice they may seem to be. We want to work and make money and not be discriminated against. We do not want to enter buildings at the back entrances. We do not wish to be dealt with in special rubrics and only at certain places. We do not want to be patronized, sweet-talked, pitied, or receive special treatment and empty promises about how we may get equal opportunities and human rights somewhere in the future.

Subject: Request for Action
Recent events regarding the publication of the health status report of two Slovenian politicians (a member of European Parliament and President of the Republic of Slovenia) drove me to reflect on, describe and compare the two events with common practice, which pertains to disabled persons. The public is disgusted by the fact that health status of so important and influential individuals was made public by none other than a (retired) doctor. However, no one even flinches, let alone is disgusted by the fact that such things happen to people with the status of a disabled person. No one even thinks such doing is wrong, although personal information is disclosed to the public on a common basis. It is expected from disabled persons to get used to such maltreatment and stop complaining.

Creative Writing and The Rush Land
Poets
: »The Rush Land Poets« have
been on the scene for many years. They have published a lot of poetry and many
plays. They also work on other artistic projects.
Disability and Literature : studies about the
community and about disability through literature, treatises written by disabled
authors, historic reflections are also available. The site is packed with
content.
Twenty-two Books on Disability : Writing
on disability is like fine bone china --- it demands a certain delicacy. Many
disabled writers (or those who choose to write on our behalf) collapse into fake
jollity, or bathos --- or employ a style that is icy, dispossessed, separated
from the heart." This site offers "top ten" literature. Literature and the Arts
includes references of other sources, but remains within the scope of humanism
and disability.
