The Self-Advocacy Association is a non-governmental, not-for-profit association that was founded in Zagreb in 2003. It was set up by members of a self-advocacy group that had while working together over the course of many years acquired skills of self-determination and self-advocacy. It is the first and as of the present time the only association in Croatia, as well as in the region as a whole that has been founded by people with intelectual difficulties and the only one that enables them to express their own needs independently and to stand up for their right to exercise their rights.
