Bizchut(chem) — thanks to you, we continue the fight for equal rights for people with disabilities.

Time and time again, the reality in Israel proves that we must still fight for the right to equality for children and adults with disabilities. We are shown that we must act so that people with all types of disabilities have the right to live independently and autonomously within the community and participate in society fully and equally; to be able to work in the open labor market, earn fair wages and receive all social rights; for schools to be truly inclusive and children to learn in them with dignity, equality, and a supportive environment. As part of Disability Equality Awareness Month this December, we at Bizchut work tirelessly to promote the rights of people with disabilities, because the reality is still far from full equality. “I am an active member of the Bizchut group, the best place and opportunity I have been given to prevent others from the injustice done to me. Bizchut gives us the infrastructure, and we choose where to take the activity. This is the first time I have been told to lead something, to start something, and that a place has been given to me. In the group, we are all people with psychosocial disability, passionate to make a change. The team from Bizchut walks hand in hand with us all the way, though we are leading. I really appreciate this approach.” - Neriya Tzabri, an activist in Bizchut’s Mental Health Activism Group. Your contribution is what enables us to continue to fight and lead change through legal, public, and community tools. So those rights are promoted and preserved. Now, and in the future. To continue doing this, we need your help! Your contribution will help us continue to: • Promote community life and services that will ensure the right of people with disabilities to independent and autonomous living. • Continue the struggle to reduce the institutionalization of people with disabilities in Israel. • Fight against the use of restrictive measures in institutions for people with disabilities. • Promote fair employment for people with disabilities. • Ensure people with psychosocial disabilities who are eligible for rehabilitation services can fully realize their rights. and so much more... Join us, and together we will promote the rights of people with disabilities this year too!
