Who We Are

We are a worldwide movement of people who are blind or low vision, acting on our own behalf to:

(1) Eliminate prejudice;

(2) Promote belief in the proven abilities of blind and low vision persons; and

(3) Achieve full participation and equality in society.

We envisage a community where people who are blind or low vision are empowered to participate on an equal basis in any aspect of life they choose.
