When we talk about the obstacles faced by people with disabilities, we often first think of stairs, inaccessible buildings, and physical barriers. But, as Ljiljana Slišković says: "The lack of awareness among citizens about the rights of persons with disabilities is a bigger problem than architectural barriers." Her life story gives weight to this message. After a serious traffic accident in her youth, Ljiljana becomes a wheelchair user. Instead of this being the end of her active life, she chooses a different path - the path of struggle, independence and pushing boundaries. Today, she is a woman who lives independently, travels, drives and actively participates in society. Her strength comes to the fore especially through sports, where she achieves exceptional results and represents Bosnia and Herzegovina at international competitions. She is particularly recognized for her diving – a discipline that requires exceptional physical and mental strength. She is among the few in the world who, as a person in a wheelchair, has dived under the ice, pushing the boundaries of both her own and social perceptions. But her fight doesn't end there. Ljiljana is an activist who advocates for the advancement of the rights of people with disabilities, fighting against architectural and communication barriers, but also - as she herself points out - against invisible barriers in people's minds. That's precisely why her message hits the heart of the problem. Because even when physical barriers are removed, without understanding, acceptance and respect for rights - inclusion remains incomplete.

That's why we decided to share her story as part of the "Your Rights Are My Rights" campaign.

Because change doesn't just start with ramps and laws. It starts in the way we look at each other.

The campaign is implemented within the framework of the project "Creating policies in Bosnia and Herzegovina with respect for human rights and the rights of persons with disabilities", implemented by the Information Center for Persons with Disabilities "Lotos" Tuzla and the Association of Blind Cantons of Sarajevo with the financial support of the European Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
