The goal is to raise awareness about intellectual disabilities, especially Trisomy 21 (also called Down Syndrome), which is the most common genetic intellectual disability.We use simpler english in this description so that our message is clear and easy to understand for everyone, including people with intellectual disabilities.<\/p>\t\n\t<p><strong>EU for Trisomy 21 (EUFT21)<\/strong> is a group of organizations from all over Europe working to make life better for people with Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21).<\/p>\n<p>We connect 53 partners in 23 EU countries to share ideas, work together, and speak with one voice to the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>We want to help people with Trisomy 21 have more <strong>freedom, visibility, good health, and fair treatment<\/strong>. The European Union can make laws to improve areas like healthcare, jobs, education, and human rights, but support for people with intellectual disabilities is often too little or stays the same.<\/p>\n\t<p>To make a change, EUFT21 works to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stop discrimination<\/strong> and make sure people with Down Syndrome are treated fairly.<\/li>\n<li>Help people with disabilities learn skills and become more independent.<\/li>\n<li>Create chances for people with Down Syndrome to talk directly to EU leaders.<\/li>\n<li>Push for better laws and funding to support people with disabilities.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the EU keeps its promises to protect disability rights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our activities include training workshops, skill-building programs, and talking with leaders in the European Parliament. We also help people with disabilities learn about their rights and take part in decisions that affect them.<\/p>\n<p>Our work supports important EU plans, like the <strong>EU Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2021-2030)<\/strong>, to make sure everyone has a voice and equal opportunities.<\/p>\n\t<h3>\n\t\t\t\tWat doet <i>EU voor trisomie 21<\/i> willen ?\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p>We willen dat de behoeften van mensen met een verstandelijke handicap een prioriteit worden op de Europese agenda om echte gelijkheid tussen burgers te garanderen.<\/p>\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Zichtbaarheid<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<!-- END .front -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>People\u00a0with disabilities\u00a0are not\u00a0present in the political environment,\u00a0are not\u00a0present\u00a0in the labour market neither in the media.\u00a0If people with disabilities are not visible in the society, it&#8217;s impossible to create the necessary changes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<!-- END .back -->\n\t\t <!-- ifb-flip-box -->\n\t <!-- flip-box -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Non-discriminatie<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<!-- END .front -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>De antidiscriminatiewetgeving van de EU heeft de afgelopen jaren een lange weg afgelegd voor de verschillende minderheidsgroepen, behalve voor mensen met een handicap.
