Bayram Özen calls for equal opportunities for visually impaired individuals
Bayram Özen, President of the Aydın Branch of the Altı Nokta Körler Derneği, has called for a shift in societal attitudes toward visually impaired individuals. He emphasized that these individuals require conditions that allow them to shape their own lives freely, rather than merely being protected.
Özen noted that obstacles to social participation extend beyond physical barriers like inaccessible sidewalks or public buildings. He highlighted that overly protective attitudes within families can inadvertently hinder the development of independent living skills and decision-making abilities. He urged families to encourage independence and allow visually impaired individuals to learn through experience.
Furthermore, Özen advocated for equal opportunities in education, employment, and social life. He stressed that visually impaired people should be viewed as equal members of society rather than subjects of pity or perceived as being solely in need of assistance. He called for greater access to vocational training aligned with individual talents to foster economic independence.
