Equality

Achieving equality for disabled people governs the political work of Uloba – Independent Living Norge.

Uloba and its members fight for equality, freedom and anti-discrimination. We are a political spearhead that promotes equality in line with the Independent Living ideology. Citizen-controlled personal assistance (PA) is our equality promotion tool.

The organisation works to give all disabled people the opportunity to live free lives.

  • By being an agenda setter in the development of PA
  • By being the most competent party in the PA field
  • By being an Independent Living organisation
  • By basing our expertise on our own experience and understanding
  • By carrying out our work from the peer perspective
  • By providing tools that enable everyone to participate in education and the labour market
  • By setting the standard as a job provider for disabled people
  • By incorporating universal design into all our activities

What do we want to achieve?

  • To strengthen our role as a political mouthpiece for the equality of disabled people
  • To be a visible driving force for our political views
  • To engage disabled people, politicians and society as a whole in the fight for equality for disabled people
  • To challenge established attitudes, prejudices, myths and political views linked to disabled people and who we are

Disabled people will have achieved equality when…

We will have come a long way towards success in our equality work:

  • When it is a matter of course that all children go to the same schools
  • When we can use our qualifications in a job
  • When people ask us what we do, not what is wrong with us
  • When facilitation (aids, assistance, interpreting services etc.) is based on own needs, not on a diagnosis
  • When reporting, documentation or restrictions on travel are not required for disabled people who need assistance
  • When we are not seen as victims, but as resourceful citizens
  • When the term ‘disabled’ is no longer used, and we form part of the diversity of society
