The “National Platform of Self Advocates”
is a self-advocacy organisation from Ireland.
This organisation is closing
because they didn’t receive any money from the government.
Inclusion Europe supports the National Platform of Self Advocates.
This is what Inclusion Europe’s President Jyrki Pinomaa said:
“We cannot accept this.
Self-advocacy organisations speak up for
people with intellectual disabilities and their rights.
If governments don’t give money to these organisations
people with intellectual disabilities don’t have a voice anymore.”
This is what Inclusion Europe’s Vice-president László Bercse said:
“Self-advocacy organisations
like the National Platform of Self Advocates
fight for inclusion of people with disabilities.
If these organisations stop working,
we have less inclusion for people with disabilities.”
