This is how MyRight works

No one should have to be poor  
or feel left out.
MyRight works
for life to be better
for people with disabilities.
Wherever they live.

We work in all parts of the world and most
in poor countries.

MyRight helps organizations and
people with disabilities
in poor countries
to understand their rights
and say what they need.

MyRight wants more people
learn about human rights
for people with disabilities.

MyRight works with
laws and policies
that can make society better
for people with disabilities.

We want more people to know
what it's like to have a disability
in a poor country.
And that more people should work to make it fair for everyone.
That's why we tell you about what we have
seen and learned for politicians in Sweden.
We also tell others who work
with making it better and fairer in the world.

MyRight works together with others

There are organizations in other countries
which helps people with disabilities.
MyRight cooperates with them. 

We provide support and training to the organizations.
We in Sweden learn a lot from them.

It is important that there are organizations
for people with disabilities.
Then more people can live good lives without poverty.

Göran Alfredsson is chairman of MyRight.
He says:

"We at MyRight want to show
how important it is to have good organizations
for us with disabilities.
Then we can gain more power over our own lives.
Strong organizations make us more independent,
free and participatory.
This applies in Sweden and throughout the world.”

MyRight works for human rights

Everyone has the right to decide for themselves.
A person with a disability must receive
decide over their own life.

When people with disabilities get
go to school,
may vote and
can decide over their own lives
they become less poor.

All countries must protect those who live there.
And make sure all people are well.
And get to say what they think.
