About Us

Japan National Assembly of Disabled Peoples’ International (DPI-Japan) was funded 1986 as a national organization of Disabled Peoples’ International (DPI). As of March 2016, 93 organizations of various types of disabilities including physical, intellectual, psychiatric or intractable diseases, are allied with us. They gather grass-roots voices, reflect the voices to national policies, and then back them to the locals. This is their fundamental activity.

Three Features of DPI-Japan
1. DPI is an organization “of” persons with disabilities.
2. DPI is a cross-disability organization.
3. DPI addresses disability issues as social issues from the viewpoint of human rights.
