Finding and Publicizing Disability Rights Organizations
By Andrea Shettle, MSW | December 21, 2008
People now have one more way that they can look for organizations run by and for people with disabilities around the world. And Disabled Peoples’ Organizations have one more way they can make sure that people around the world are able to learn about their organization and the work they do.
The United Nations Enable website, which focuses on people with disabilities, has a new listing of Civil Society organizations that focus on disability issues:
http://www.un.org/disabilities/default.asp?id=739
Follow the link above to find organizations in the region or country that interests you.
If you want your organization to be added to their list, then you can send an email to enable@un.org with the following information:
1. The name of your organization
2. The website address (URL) for your organization
3. The country or region in which your organization carries out its activities
Looking for more DPOs? Mobility International USA also has a helpful database.
Don’t have a website for your organization yet? Or enough resources to establish one on your own? The organization <a href="http://www.danishkadah.org.pk/Projects/NetworkingDPO/index.html">DanishKadah </a>is accepting applications from DPOs that need free webhosting services to establish accessible websites for them. Follow the link to learn more details.
