that it may have a rights-based
character, to support people with
disabilities who face discrimination
in their everyday lives.
The main objective of the information

which was created jointly by Brest city
youth association “Spadchyna” ("Heritage")
and regional web-site "Virtual Brest", is to spread important and useful information in support of
people with disabilities that have
partially or completely lost
their eyesight. The authors of the initiative hope that this information will not only help increase knowledge about
how to help people with disabilities
to integrate into the society, but also to protect their rights and to assist such persons in leading full lives.
