Secretary of The Deafblind Association of Slovenia DLAN, dr. Simona Gerenčer Pegan and president

Advocate for the Principle of Equality of the Republic of Slovenia in charge of the field of
discrimination against persons with disabilities, Mag. Jelena Aleksić and Boštjan Vernik Šetinec. At
the meeting, they presented a number of examples of discrimination faced by individuals with
deafblindness, both privately and in public and in the field of legislation. The interlocutors listened
closely and ensured that they would actively support our efforts to detaboise deafblindness and
recommendations to state authorities to take into account deafblindness in all matters concerning
the rights of people with deafblindness.
