Abstract

U društvu su osobe s invaliditetom bile marginalizirane, u riziku od socijalne isključenosti. Kroz povijest se odnos društva prema njima promijenio, od segregacije i diskriminacije, prema toleranciji i inkluziji. Promjeni pogleda na osobe s invaliditetom pridonio je socijalni model invaliditeta koji ističe vrijednost osobe, a ne njena ograničenja. Socijalni model ističe da je invaliditet rezultat ograničavajućih uvjeta koje je društvo postavilo pred osobe s invaliditetom, stoga nosi odgovornost rješavanja problema osoba s invaliditetom. U novije vrijeme sve je više vidljiva uloga organizacija civilnog društva u ukazivanju na probleme osoba s invaliditetom i zagovanju njihovih prava. Važna uloga ogleda se u utjecaju na donošenje, tumačenje i kritiziranje brojnih propisa, dokumenata i zakona. Organizacije civilnog društva promiču vrijednost građanske participacije, a to čine kroz uključivanje volontera u svoje aktivnosti. Volonteri su osobe koje dobrovoljno daju svoje vrijeme, znanje i vještine kako bi organizacija postigla postavljene ciljeve. Volonteri mogu biti i osobe s invaliditetom (inkluzivno volontiranje) te se tada aktivno uključuju u društvo. Istraživanja navedena u radu ukazuju na pozitivan utjecaj udruga i volontera u uključivanju osoba s invaliditetom i djece s teškoćama u razvoju u društvo, ali i na prepreke s kojima se suočavaju.

Abstract (english)

In society, people with disabilities were marginalized, at the risk of social exclusion. Through history, society has treated people with disabilities differently, from segregation and discrimination, to tolerance and inclusion. Social model of disability has contributed to the positive change, its emphasis is on the person’s values, and not their limitations. The social model emphasizes that disability is the result of the restrictive conditions that society has set for people with disabilities, and therefore has the responsibility of solving their problems. Recently, the role of civil society organizations in advocating for their rights is increasing. That is apparent in the process of making laws and different documents and criticizing them. Civil society organisations promote civic participation, through inclusion of volunteers in their activities. Volunteers willingly give their time, knowledge and skills to help the organization achieve their goals. Volunteers can also be people with disabilities (inclusive volunteering) and therefore be actively involved in society. Research cited in the paper indicates the positive impact of associations and volunteers in the inclusion of people with disabilities and children with disabilities in society, but also the obstacles they come across with.
