This participation is among other activities of the program "I'm Smart Strong, and Safe ...despite my Disability", which is concerned about the protection of children and teens with disability from abuse, and building their personality. The program was launched in 2009, under the patronage and presence of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Disability, and aims among other goals to raise awareness of the society to focus on the Human perspective of the disabled person rather than the disability.
