Self-advocates tell us what freedom means to them

14.03.2017

 

In celebration of #MyFreedomDay on the 14th March 2017, Lumos-supported self-advocates wrote poems, created videos and told us what freedom means to them. 

Freedom means different things to different people, but we all share one common goal, the right to make our own decisions and take control of our own destiny.

 

I can wear what I want, I can go out, I can go out with my family, I can go out, I can go to school, because some children cannot.

 

Freedom means to me, when I speak my mind, when I am myself and I do what I want. Freedom is when I have the right to a family. And when my family are beside me.
