CERMI's mission is to represent and defend persons with disabilities, and to protect their human rights, both individually and as a whole. CERMI acts with one sole and unified voice but respecting diversity and pluralism. CERMI establishes contacts with public authorities, stakeholders and society to raise awareness on the needs and claims of this social group. CERMI becomes the interlocutor and referent of disability, to promote non-discrimination, equal opportunities and social emancipation and to improve living conditions for citizens with disabilities and their families in Spain.
