In Denmark, many people with Down syndrome face significant barriers to independence and inclusion. From limited job opportunities to restrictions on where and how they can live, their choices are often made for them rather than with them. Despite advocating for their rights, they remain largely excluded from disability policies, which rarely consider their perspectives or those of their representatives.

This systemic exclusion must change. Every individual deserves the right to be heard, valued, and included in shaping their own future.

I Danmark står mange mennesker med Downs syndrom over for betydelige barrierer for selvstændighed og inklusion. Fra begrænsede jobmuligheder til restriktioner på, hvor og hvordan de kan bo, bliver deres valg ofte truffet for dem frem for med dem. På trods af at de kæmper for deres rettigheder, forbliver de i vid udstrækning udelukket fra handicappolitikker, der sjældent tager deres perspektiver eller deres repræsentanters synspunkter i betragtning.

Denne systemiske udelukkelse må ændres. Hver enkelt person fortjener retten til at blive hørt, værdsat og inkluderet i at forme deres egen fremtid.
