Social justice is crucial for people with rare diseases to have equal rights and opportunities. Without it, 30 million people in Europe living with a rare disease face daily barriers to education, work, and independent living. Our latest #RareBarometer survey shows the many challenges our community faces and highlights the urgent need for change. ⏰ On this World Day of Social Justice, we call on decision-makers to include concrete actions in the next European Strategy for Persons with Disabilities. This should improve disability assessment, recognition systems, and support for independent living. We also urge the European Commission to address gaps in employment and education in the upcoming review of the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan. ✊ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/enmhW-dG #RareDiseases #equality #SocialJustice #disability #Europe

"For me now, this condition is no longer an enemy. It has become a companion throughout my life, which I call my ‘rare friend’.” 🫂 At just 13 years old, Huy began experiencing undiagnosed episodes of photosensitive reflex epilepsy, leaving him unconscious for hours at a time. For 15 years, he faced misdiagnoses, stigma, and uncertainty - but he refused to let his condition define him. Instead, Huy learned to live with his condition, transforming his journey into a mission. Now a doctor, he founded the Vietnamese Organization for Rare Diseases, supporting others living with rare conditions in his home country of Vietnam. His story is one of adaptation, perseverance, and purpose - a reminder that even in the face of challenges, we can turn pain into progress. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/euT9HiQz 📅 Rare Disease Day is just over a week away! Let’s stand together on 28 February 2025 to raise awareness and support the rare disease community! #RareDiseaseDay #RareDiseases #PhotosensitiveReflexEpilepsy #PatientStories #Advocacy #Hope

😊"Your smile isn’t just about your teeth - it’s about the person behind it"😊 In this episode of our #RareDiseaseDay Stories podcast series, we share Sushmita’s Story - a journey of resilience and redefining beauty beyond appearances. Born with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), a rare genetic condition affecting tooth enamel, Sushmita faced stares, ridicule, and painful dental procedures from a young age. Misunderstood and even accused of poor hygiene, she struggled to make others see beyond her condition. But with the support of her family, she turned her pain into purpose. Instead of letting AI define her, Sushmita chose to become an advocate, sharing her story, and working alongside dentists to improve care for others with AI. Now, she’s preparing to present her own case study at a medical seminar, proving that every story has the power to inspire change. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/euT9HiQz 📅 Rare Disease Day is on 28 February 2025. Join us in raising awareness and supporting the rare disease community! #RareDiseaseDay #RareDiseases #AmelogenesisImperfecta #Advocacy #PatientStories #Resilience #SmileWithConfidence
