Anti-Ableist Glossary of Disability Terms
 

This project originated in the United States as a joint effort between the Vera Institute of Justice, the National Resource Center (NRC) and other allied organizations and their partner community of translators. In response to the needs and priorities identified by the communities themselves, the partner organizations adopted a comprehensive action strategy focused on the joint development of initiatives seeking equality and justice for families and whole communities impacted by violence. These initiatives involve elements of research, recommendations on policy and direct action in order to help strengthen the affected groups which, owing to their social, economic, political, ethnic and cultural circumstances, find themselves in a situation of extreme vulnerability.  

​

In summary, the primary and overall aim of this project is to guarantee equality, sustainability and quality in these alliances by strengthening the communicative ties between service provider organizations and the disabled persons they support.
