Dear Listmembers,
I am the chairperson of the national independent living movement in Austria.
Situation there is like everywhereelse:
oppression, paternalism, social exclusion and stuff like that. We have to go
a long way to fight for our rights so.
Part of the oppression is the use of the medical model of disability, and it
is more the model of personal tragedy, that' s in use, even by disabled
people themselves. Anyone an idea about how to deal with disabled persons,
who beleave, their impairment and disability are a personal tragedy. Anyone
experience?
Regards
Wolfgang Mizelli
