Political advocacy is one of the lines of action that the Colombian Autism League has, which is why we generate actions seeking to guarantee the rights of people with autism. We have made progress in the task, achieving that this is visible in the group of people with disabilities.
We work in alliance with organizations of people with disabilities in our country, promoting joint work with families and institutions in cities and municipalities that have actions in favor of the population with autism such as Barranquilla, Bucaramanga, Cali, Cartagena, Cúcuta, Cumaral, Duitama , Ibagué, Manizales, Medellín, Pereira, Samacá and Sincelejo.
