Bruce, Teagan and Mars are peer leaders on the How to Claim Your Rights project. In this video they talk about why human rights matter to them, what they want other people to understand, and how working on the project changed the way they speak up for themselves.

People with disability co-designed the project. The resources were developed, tested with the community and then redeveloped. On Human Rights Day, B-HART will show its new online platform for the first time.

Human Rights Day Symposium 2026
Thursday 10 December, 2:30–6pm
Prospect Library, 128 Prospect Road, Prospect SA, or online through YouTube

There is no cost to attend. Book a ticket to come in person or watch online: https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01scH00

The venue is accessible, and there will be live captions, Auslan interpreters and Easy Read information.

Project partners: Lived Experience Australia, South Australian Council on Intellectual Disability Inc, Deafblind Victoria, ColourFull Abilities, KYD-X and Community Bridging Services (CBS) Inc.

On 10 December 1948, the world made a promise.
After the Second World War, people from many nations came together to write down the rights that belong to every one of us.

The result was the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and its first article says: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights."

Since 1950, 10 December has been marked as Human Rights Day, and the work is still unfinished today.

Mark it with us at B-HART's free Human Rights Day Symposium, Thursday 10 December, at Prospect Library or online.

Good projects are not just about what gets created. They are also about how well we listen, learn and respond along the way.

Recently, B-HART and our project partners came together for an evaluation workshop as part of the How to Claim Your Human Rights project.

For us, evaluation is not simply a reporting requirement. It is part of staying true to the intent of this project: genuine collaboration, meaningful co-design, and making sure the resources being developed reflect the voices, experiences and priorities of the people they are for.

As one project coordinator shared:

“This is one of the most important things I have been involved with.”

That comment means a great deal, and it also reminds us of the responsibility we carry to keep listening carefully, learning from feedback and strengthening the work as we go.

A huge thank you to Health Q, who are supporting the project with evaluation services, and to our incredible partner organisations and peer leaders whose knowledge, honesty and lived experience continue to shape this work.

Co-design has been central from the beginning, with people with disability and lived experience helping guide the development, testing and direction of the resources.

We are now getting closer to an exciting next stage.

Soon, we will begin our media campaign, grow the B-HART community, and start sharing the incredible resources developed by our partners and peer leaders to help people better understand their rights and build confidence to advocate for themselves.

There is much more to come.

Stay connected with B-HART and be part of the community as we bring this work to life.

This is the story of an important protest in Australian disability rights history.

In 1981, disability activist Lesley Hall went on stage at the Miss Australia Quest holding a protest sign.

The pageant raised money to support children with cerebral palsy, while also promoting an ideal of physical perfection that excluded people with disability.

Hall challenged that contradiction.
Her protest took place during a significant period of disability activism in Australia, as people with disability and advocacy groups pushed for greater recognition, rights and change.

The story is a reminder that supporting people with disability is not only about providing services or raising money.

It is also about inclusion, listening to people with disability, and recognising their right to have a voice in the decisions and systems that affect their lives.

Human rights are part of everyday life.

Through B-HART’s Claim Your Rights survey, people shared the words that come to mind when they hear “human rights”, words like rights, life, access, equality, people, support, and being treated fairly.

The responses are a reminder that human rights are not just legal language.
They shape how people are heard, included, supported and able to live with dignity.

Video description:

[A white-background video shows the question, “When you hear the words ‘human rights’, what do you think of?” A word cloud slowly appears and shifts, with responses including rights, life, access, equality, people, needs, disability rights and having rights shown on screen.]

Human rights can mean different things to different people.

As part of the B-HART Survey for the Claim Your Rights project, we asked people with disability, families and carers:

“When you hear the words ‘human rights’, what do you think of?”

The responses reflected the different ways people understand and describe human rights in their own lives. People shared words and ideas connected to rights, life, access, equality, disability rights, having rights, good life and needs.

These answers are helping shape the way we create resources for the Claim Your Rights project.

They remind us that human rights information needs to be clear, practical and accessible, so people can understand what their rights mean in real life and feel more confident using them.

Your responses are helping B-HART create resources that support people to know their rights, make informed choices and confidently advocate for themselves.

The Claim Your Rights project is proudly funded by the Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing.

[Gentle music plays. The video opens on a plain white background with dark teal text in the centre that reads: “When you hear the words ‘human rights’, what do you think of?” The screen then moves to a word cloud showing “What people answered - 14 responses.” The word “rights” appears largest in the centre with 6 responses. Around it, the word “life” appears with 3 responses. The words “access,” “equality,” “everything,” “good,” “people,” “person,” “United” and “Nations” each appear with 2 responses. Other words and phrases appear with 1 response each: “disability rights,” “rights as humans,” “Constitutional rights,” “appropriate,” “needs,” “having rights,” “facets of life,” “good life” and “loss of liberty.” The words appear in dark teal, green and soft grey on a clean white background.]
