Human rights refers to the "basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled"
Dignity, acceptance, and a chance to reach one’s potential
Since 1968, Special Olympics has been bringing one message to the world: people with intellectual disabilities can and will succeed if given the opportunity.
Many live lives of neglect and isolation, hidden away or socially excluded from full participation in schools or society. Transforming the athlete, Special Olympics sports are a gateway to empowerment, competence, acceptance and joy.
Communities see their humanity, their joy in competition, their pride and their potential, and they begin to believe in a different kind of world– a world in which everyone is respected and included.
What does this inclusion mean?
Special Olympics is changing lives ...
Dignity, acceptance, and a chance to reach one’s potential
"It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts."
