The Rights, Empowerment, Action and Lobbying (REAL) Network
The Rights, Empowerment, Action and Lobbying (REAL) Network
The Rights, Empowerment, Action and Lobbying (REAL) Network is a group of
disabled human rights activists from across Northern Ireland. The mission of
the REAL Network is to work together to ensure that the human rights of
disabled people are given their full effect.
The REAL Network was set up by Disability Action’s Centre on Human Rights
for People with Disabilities, which continues to support the REAL Network in
the achievement of this mission.
Services
The REAL Network is considered an innovative lobbying group and has been
embraced by many in the disability sector. Who better to lobby on the
rights of people with disabilities than disabled people themselves?
If you are a person with a disability who is interested in lobbying for
change to protect the rights of all disabled people, please contact the REAL
Network. [1]
The REAL (Rights Empowerment Action Lobbying) Network works locally,
nationally and internationally under four core areas:
1) Health & Independent Living [2]
2) Education [3]
3) Employment [4]
4) United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities [5]
The REAL Network identifies key issues affecting the human rights of people
with disabilities under each of these areas and lobbies local, national and
European political representatives for change.
