Thank you Patsy for suggesting me a term "stakeholder". But I think "stakeholder" includes all interest parties. I.e., in the field of disability, disabled people, medical professionals, family members of disabled people, etc., and may not particularly refer disabled people. (For instance, "stakeholder analysis" means to analyze ALL the party involved in a project/programme.) In fact, perhaps a right translation of "toujisya" in general usage may be a "stakeholder", as Patsy suggested. And linguistically, "toujisya" means party involved or stakeholder. But in Japanese disability studies, it is usually used to refer disabled people only, and not include other stakeholders (interest parties/party involved). I.e., when you use "toujisya", it automatically means disabled people without explanation, and do not include other stakeholders. So that I wanted to find the term which may fit well to this particular usage. Or, it may be easier to think a few-words explanation on the philosophy of "nothing about us without us (prioritize being disabled people as prerequisite/primal factor to be an agency/main actor on disability)", rather than think about translation of the word "toujisya". Thank you for your help.

I don't necessarily like it as its very "commercial" based term.
