Advocacy

The Advocacy Coordinator organizes meetings with staff members, advocacy volunteer groups, and beneficiaries to discuss existing community issues in the disability sector and to identify necessary advocacy actions.

The Independent Living Resource Center provides legal assistance in cases related to the rights of persons with disabilities when these rights are affected due to disability. Through this service, the needs and challenges of persons with disabilities in Lori Region of Armenia are regularly monitored.

Advocacy tools are developed, and training sessions are organized for persons with disabilities to empower and support them. These trainings cover topics such as advocacy, rights and benefits of persons with disabilities, and advocacy campaigns are organized and implemented.

Within the framework of advocacy activities, cooperation is established with state and local authorities to propose policy changes and to ensure that the perspectives of persons with disabilities are represented in decision-making processes.
