3. Disability Awareness in Action
Disability Awareness in Action (DAA) is an international human rights network, run for and by disabled people.
This website is now the focus for how we pass information and news to disabled people - and our representative organisations - around the world.
Although we are delighted when disabled people from any region make use of our services and resources, DAA’s efforts are particularly focused on people in developing countries.
Most of DAA’s information comes from disabled people themselves; our aim is to ensure that disabled people have access to any and all information that concerns our human and civil rights. With a small staff of employees and volunteers based in the UK, most of whom are disabled people themselves, DAA produces and disseminates information based on the experience of disabled people in 164 countries.
Our aim is to give disabled people information and support material to help them take effective action for themselves.
DAA’s work primarily targets disabled people and their organisations, ensuring that disabled women and other underrepresented groups are fully integrated into all programmes and policies.
Although our target audience are disabled people, our materials are also routinely used by governments, statutory authorities, schools, television and radio stations, the general public and academics.
