Awareness Raising

2024 WALK Self-Advocacy Conference Video

This video features highlights from the 2024 WALK Self-Advocacy Conference, where participants from our Self-Advocacy Programme presented their personal advocacy projects and spoke about the everyday barriers they face—framed within the rights outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).

Through engaging presentations, creative performances, and meaningful conversations with community leaders and policymakers, the conference aimed to amplify voices, raise awareness, and inspire action toward greater inclusion. The event also celebrated the vital role of our partner human rights organizations—including the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, Smashing Times, Inclusion Ireland, Independent Living Movement Ireland, All Wales People First, the National Women’s Council of Ireland, and Amnesty International—in advancing rights-based advocacy and building a more equal society.
