Soufiane El Amrani had a presentation during
the Hear our Voices! conference.
The speech was a report about
the work of self-advocacy groups
and their work all around Europe
Self-advocates from all over Europe
got together in their own countries
and organised several events to talk
about how was it for them to go
through the COVID-19 situation.
In Ireland a self-advocate is now
a communication and information manager.
In Spain a self-advocate was elected
as Vice-President in one of our members.
Also in Ireland self-advocates challenged
the government on the way they decide
to spend their money.
In Spain a National Platform of Self-Advocates
was launched with more than 500 people attending.
EPSA chair Laszlo challenged the way
people with disabilities are discriminated
against when it comes to exercise the right to vote.
We had several events in 9 countries,
with more than 300 participants.
We had events in Portugal, Romania,
Ireland, Hungary, Czechia, Austria,
Croatia, Moldova, and Spain.
We also had our Spanish member talking
at our Directors meeting.
They talked about
how is this important to give voice
to self-advocates.
