Opis

Slovenian Disability Rights Association (DRUPIS)

Established in 2012, the Slovenian Disability Rights Association (DRUPIS) is dedicated to advocating for the rights of individuals with disabilities in Slovenia. The formation of DRUPIS followed Slovenia's ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2008, a commitment to uphold the principles outlined in this vital international document.

Mission and Objectives

DRUPIS aims to accelerate the implementation of the CRPD while providing support to disabled individuals when their rights are infringed upon. The Association has emerged as a leading entity representing the interests of persons with disabilities through various legal avenues, including individual and collective legal actions.

Legal Representation and Advocacy

DRUPIS has represented clients in numerous high-profile cases before the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, and international bodies such as the European Court of Human Rights. The Association is committed to actively promoting awareness and justice, dismantling the barriers of ignorance and discrimination faced by individuals with disabilities.

Community Engagement and Awareness-Raising

The Association focuses on raising awareness of the issues faced by vulnerable and marginalized groups. It diligently informs the public about instances of rights violations and advocates for accountability from those who discriminate. Through various projects, DRUPIS emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and equality for all.
