Project Description

The "How to Claim Your Human Rights" project addresses the significant power imbalance between individuals with disabilities and the providers who support them. Our aim is to transform the way people with disabilities interact with service providers by promoting human rights-based practices. We focus on ensuring that everyone can recognise these practices when negotiating for their supports and services.

Meet our Project Partners

We are proud to collaborate with the following organisations:

• B-HART: Leading the project with a dedicated focus on promoting human rights.
• Lived Experience Australia (LEA): Representing individuals with lived experience of mental health issues and psychosocial disabilities.
• DnD (Diversity and Disability): A self-advocacy program supporting people with disabilities from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
• South Australian Council for Intellectual Disability (SACID): Advocating for people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
• Deafblind Victoria (DBV): A self-advocacy group run by and for individuals with deaf blindness.
• ColourFull Abilities: An LGBTQIA+ specific disability organization, owned and run by individuals with lived experience.
• KYD-X Foundation: Focusing on children with disabilities, their parents, and carers, providing essential support and advocacy.

Each partner brings unique strengths and expertise to the project, ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive approach to promoting the human rights practice model.

Project Activities

Our project includes a variety of activities aimed at empowering our community:

• Co-designing Content: Peer leaders will collaborate to create impactful and relevant materials tailored to the community's needs.
• Capacity Building: Training sessions will enhance the skills and knowledge of peer leaders, enabling them to conduct workshops and lead discussion groups.
• Resource Distribution: We will utilize innovative and effective channels to widely distribute resources, ensuring they reach as many people as possible.

These activities are designed to foster a deeper understanding of human rights-based practices and build the confidence needed to self-advocate in everyday situations.
