Our Vision: A society which values diversity, respects equality and realizes the full potential of persons with disabilities in order to build a better world for all. Our Mission: To advance the human rights of persons with disabilities as a united voice of organizations of persons with disabilities utilizing the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and other human rights instruments.
