Principles
|
|
|
Marginalized People especially
women and the youth with limited resource accessibility
have the right to maximum independence and participation
in all environments, without barriers. |
|
|
|
Technology can be harnessed
to diminish or eliminate environmental barriers for
the marginalized people. |
| |
|
|
Poor People with limited access to
resources have the right to employ assistive technologies,
strategies for implementation, and necessary training
support to maximize their independence and productivity
hence ensuring sustained livelihoods.
|
|
|
|
Marginalized People and
the poor in African villages have the right to control
and direct their own choices, and the right to access
the information they need in order to make informed
decisions according to their goals and interests.
