The Convention is an agreement between countries to make sure that children and adults with disabilities are treated fairly and in the same ways as same as other people.

We want you and other young people to know about it. Speak up on Disability Rights!!

Special Olympics is committed to positively changing attitudes toward people with intellectual disabilities. Voices of Youth invites you answer the questionnaire to better promote greater understanding and inclusion.

Special Olympics improves the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and, in turn, the lives of everyone they touch through quality sports training, competitions and related programs.

There is much more to be done, it will be great if you could give us your contribution.  Submit your responses to our questionnaire!!
