SLOVENIA - Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities: Access to Education and Employment
"Rights of people with intellectual disabilities: access to education and employment in Slovenia", a new report produced by the Open Society Institute, reveals that people with intellectual disabilities in Slovenia face limited education and employment opportunities mainly due to outdated legislation. The monitoring report was produced by the Open Society Institute (EUMAP and Mental Health Initiative) in cooperation with the Association for Theory & Culture of Handicap (YHD). It is part of a series of fourteen country reports on the rights of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe. The reports monitor the degree to which existing international standards and national legislation are heeded and applied. Each report contains a list of concrete recommendations for improving policies, and ensuring the implementation of these policies in practice. To receive a copy of the report, please use the Publication order form.

Partner NGOAssociation for Theory & Culture of Handicap (YHD) The members of the YHD are handicapped people, who believe in the principles of independent living and act by them. As the YHD states: "We do not fall for the "healthy life" rhetoric and the logic of custody and care. We avoid patronizing practices of charity and pity, and most of all, we don't allow for somebody to assume the right or feel entitled to speak on our behalf, instead of us or in our name. We understand handicap as a social status, assigned to anyone who in a certain moment or in a certain society falls outside existing definitions and accepted norms. A handicapped person can find him or herself in social relations, which push him or her into and keep him or her in a deprivileged position. Therefore, one must surpass such relations."
