Its activities focus on the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, so that they may themselves lead a fulfilling and dignified life. The mobilization of public opinion and the promotion, at national and regional levels, of inclusive policies and legislation are major objectives pursued by the organization. EDAN raises awareness about disability issues, projecting a positive image of persons with disabilities, advocating for their rights and for change within the Middle East and Lebanon in particular. It seeks to encourage and motivate the different communities and public institutions to create facilities and structures that are accessible to persons with different disabilities, thus facilitating inclusion.
