Self-Advocacy Movement
The Self-Advocacy Movement is a collective effort by individuals, particularly those with disabilities or chronic conditions, to speak for themselves, make their own choices, and promote their rights. It emphasizes empowering people to express their needs, challenge discrimination, and participate actively in decisions that affect their lives. This movement seeks to ensure that individuals are recognized as capable, autonomous, and deserving of equal opportunities and respect, fostering independence and societal inclusion.
