Rights

How can I exercise my right to equality and non-discrimination?

All people have the right to receive equal and non-discriminatory treatment, including those with a mental health problem. Some recommendations for exercising your right to equality and non-discrimination are:

  • Know your rights and remind yourself of them when necessary (you can cite the articles of the New York Convention).
  • Develop skills that allow you to trust your abilities and participate actively.
  • Identify discrimination and prejudice and point them out, if possible, at the moment they occur.
  • Create an opinion: openly discuss situations of discrimination with colleagues, friends, family, professionals, neighbors, etc.
  • If the discrimination persists, report it.
  • Join the organizations present in your area to demand discrimination.
