Self Advocacy is a concept of promoting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (PwIDD) started by Parivaar – National Federation of Parent Associations – India. We at Amba Angels promote this concept at our Centre, Association and in Gujarat. We strongly believe in “Together We Can Rise and Shine” and “Nothing about US without US”
Self Advocacy is about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (PwIDD) working together for justice by helping each other to take charge of their lives and fighting discrimination. They support each other and help each other to gain confidence to speak out for what they believe in.
By giving them this opportunity, they gain self awareness, collective action and collaborative mutual support leading to transformation from marginalized people to Respectable Citizens!
