"Ik droom van mijn eigen tandartspraktijk want ik wil mensen helpen, vooral kinderen met een handicap." Laat je inspireren door de bijzondere Justine, de hoofdpersoon in onze nieuwe campagne. Een krachtige 25-jarige vrouw uit Oeganda die met de juiste steun en aandacht haar dromen kon verwezenlijken. De komende tijd zul je haar veel tegenkomen op tv, radio, online en in print. Katalemwa Cheshire Home For Rehabilitation Services, onze partnerorganisatie in Oeganda, zag de kracht in Justine. Met steun van het Liliane Fonds werd ze opgevangen als 12-jarig meisje. Door de operaties, revalidatie en zelfs studeren in het ziekenhuisbed, is haar zelfvertrouwen gegroeid. Nu werkt Justine op eigen kracht aan haar toekomst. We zijn maar wat trots op deze productie.

Ieder(in) is een petitie gestart om naleving van het VN-verdrag Handicap te eisen. Acht jaar na de invoering zien we dat rechten van mensen met een beperking steeds vaker worden geschonden. Het VN-comité in Genève stelde deze zomer vast dat Nederland zijn verplichtingen niet nakomt: verschillen tussen gemeentes in zorg en toegankelijkheid blijven groot, en wetten voldoen niet aan het verdrag. Goede invoering van dit verdrag, inclusief artikel 32 over internationale samenwerking, kan Nederland én zijn buitenlandbeleid inclusiever maken. Wij steunen deze petitie, jij ook? Laat dan je stem horen: onsgeduldisop.nl #OnsGeduldIsOp #Inclusie #disability
Teken de petitie: Ons geduld is op!

“Ik weet wat het is om een kind met een handicap te verzorgen. Mijn kleinzoon heeft een hersenbeschadiging. Ik zag de impact daarvan op mijn dochter en haar man. De zorgen om zijn gezondheid, de druk van de kosten voor zijn verzorging, de onzekerheid over de toekomst. Ik wilde iets doen voor ouders die in dezelfde situatie zitten.” Door die ervaring besloot Augustine vrijwilliger te worden bij Twatasha, onze partnerorganisatie in Zambia. “Bij Twatasha kreeg ik trainingen over handicaps en wat kinderen met een specifieke handicap nodig hebben. Ik leerde ook hoe je hun ouders benadert. Want er is veel schaamte, uit bijgeloof. Mensen denken dat die kinderen behekst zijn. Veel ouders worden daardoor passief. Ze denken dat er toch niks aan te doen is. Dan verstoppen ze hun kind thuis, uit angst voor wat de buren zeggen.” Dankzij Augustine en vele, vele anderen die net als hij belangeloos hun schouders eronder zetten, komen kinderen met een handicap uit de verborgenheid. Daar zijn we hen heel erg dankbaar voor. Vandaag, de Nationale Dag van de Vrijwilliger, en alle dagen van het jaar! Lees het hele verhaal van Augustine hier: https://lnkd.in/eupRtWRk

We are proud to contribute to the inclusive approach of the Heroes for Gender Transformative Action Programme (Heroes4GTA) in Uganda. This innovative program focuses on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and takes significant steps to combat gender inequality and gender-based violence. Drawing on our expertise in Disability Inclusive Development, we are supporting the training currently taking place in Mbale together with Katalemwa Cheshire Home. Our participation in this program underscores the importance of collaboration. Only by sharing knowledge, experiences, and resources with partners like Amref Health Africa in Uganda, Cordaid, MIFUMI and many local organizations can we create sustainable impact. It is inspiring to see how existing methodologies, such as the Gender Transformative Approach, are being further refined and applied in practice! #Disabilityinclusion #SRHR Marieke van Gerwen

Today is day four of the GESI training with the Heroes for Gender Transformative Action Programme (Heroes4GTA) in Uganda. @Heroes4GTA is a six-year (2020–2026) integrated sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) program in Uganda implemented by Amref Health Africa in Uganda, MIFUMI, Cordaid, Healthy Entrepreneurs and 21 Community Based Organisations. It is funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Uganda. We've built on our GESI analysis and training conducted in April. We reflected on progress since then in terms of addressing gender inequality in SRH and SGBV services, what we can do better and how get there. We also refreshed our knowledge on Gender Transformative Approaches (GTA) in Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) and focussed in on the need to address power dynamics when delivering Youth Friendly Services. In our training we use the Rutgers, expertisecentrum seksualiteit GTA approach, with their blessing. The same approach we apply in our #PowertoYou(th) Strategic Partnership which we jointly implement with Rutgers, Sonke Gender Justice and again, many local CBOs. During the training yesterday and today, we focus on Disability Inclusive Development, with the Training delivered by Katalemwa Cheshire Home – Uganda Liliane Fonds. Tools we use include those of Light for the World. For its Sexuality Education, Heroes4GTA has adapted life skills manuals developed by the Ministry of Education and Sports in Uganda which were subsequently tailored to the Heroes4GTA programme with input from the MOH and Reproductive Health Uganda. Partnerships and collaboration play a key role in delivering quality International Development interventions. We learn from each other and do not reinvent the wheel. We work together to improve existing tools and approaches through sharing our knowledge and building on each others’ strengths. Always in close collaboration with the local government and local organizations that know and understand the context. Whilst Minister Klever pointed out in her letter to Parliament of 11 November 2024 that current partnerships are often laborious and sometimes do not sufficiently promote local ownership, I would like to reiterate that the partnership I see in practice this week and from my experience, many other, create significant synergy and value for money. Let us therefore be careful to not throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. #cooperation #learning #partnerships #LocalOwnership Amref Flying Doctors NL Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken Marieke van Gerwen Henry Wasswa Eefje Smet

Persons with disabilities face greater obstacles in the justice system compared to those without disabilities. This is due to the fact that justice systems worldwide are not sufficiently adapted to, or designed for, individuals with impairments. To address this, it is crucial to raise awareness. It is, therefore, increasingly important that our advocacy against Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV) includes a disability justice lens. As a beginner disability activist, this might sound daunting. Rest assured; we got your back! Marieke van Gerwen, SRHR Advisor and Daphne Visser (she/her), Advocacy and SRHR Advisor at Liliane Fonds are sharing 5 resources in a blog on Share-Net Netherlands, which help you start your disability activism journey today. To learn more about our initiatives and how you can get involved in promoting disability justice within SRHR, visit the Share-Net Netherlands website: https://lnkd.in/gVA3fp97 Join our Community of Practice, participate in discussions, and help us create a more inclusive world for all young people. #16days #IDPD

Around 240 million children worldwide live with disabilities, and 95% of them are in low- and middle-income countries. Tragically, many remain unidentified and unsupported due to stigma, inaccessible services, or lack of awareness. 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 are crucial to ensuring children with disabilities survive, thrive and achieve their full potential throughout life. At Liliane Fonds, we’re committed to making Early Identification and Intervention the cornerstone of disability inclusion. One example of this commitment is our partnership with Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. and JF Kapnek Zimbabwe to deliver the Global State of Early Identification & Early Intervention (EIEI) Report for children with disabilities or at risk. Expected in April 2025, this initiative has already: 📌 Mapped 86 stakeholders 📌 Reviewed key publications 📌 Interviewed global stakeholders 📌 Analyzed surveys across 16 countries 📌 Conducted focus group discussions The outcomes will be shared through a learning event and an online resource hub upon their release.

On this year’s United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we also reflect on the theme: “Strengthening the Leadership of Persons with Disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable Future.” At Liliane Fonds, we want to shine a light on the incredible leadership of parents of children with disabilities. They are not only the experts, but also the primary voices for their children’s needs. Every country, culture, and community has its own unique challenges, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Only by being driven by local voices can we create tailored, sustainable solutions.

Vandaag, op de Internationale Dag voor Mensen met een Beperking, zijn tienduizenden kinderen met een handicap onzichtbaar. Op de armste plekken ter wereld worden ze verborgen gehouden uit onwetendheid, schaamte en wegens stigma’s. Door bezuinigingen op ontwikkelingshulp komt samenwerking tussen Nederland en organisaties ter plekke in de knel, wat vooral kinderen met een handicap raakt, stellen Erik Ackerman en Lisanne van der Steeg in het Algemeen Dagblad vandaag. Ons klemmende beroep aan het kabinet is: investeer in partnerschappen ‘hier en daar’ en kijk naar de kwaliteit en de impact van internationale samenwerking. Zo maken we ons écht sterk voor de kwetsbaarsten. Zo voorkomen we dat zij de rekening betalen van rigoureuze bezuinigingen. En hoeven wanhopige ouders hun kind met een handicap niet meer te verbergen. 📖 Lees het hele opiniestuk: https://lnkd.in/ekzUhdMV #IDPD2024 #Inclusievewereld #IDPD #Opinie
