MyRight Sri Lanka supports projects and programmes that help to make the disability organisations in Sri Lanka stronger, more democratic and able to
Participate in social development. Establishing strong organisations provides persons with disabilities with greater opportunities to be their own agents
For change and to represent their members.
All MyRight’s activities take a rights perspective and are rooted in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which was adopted in
- According to the Convention, it is not the individual who should have to adapt to the existing society – it is up to society to change so that it
Is more inclusive.
