What is Easy Read?
Easy Read is a way of sharing information so that it is:
- ✅ Easy to read.
- ✅ Easy to understand.
- ✅ Easy to use.
"Easy Read is not simplified rights. Easy Read is accessible rights."
How we make it Easy Read:
- We use simple words.
- We use short sentences.
- We explain one idea at a time.
- We use clear headings and spacing.
- We use helpful pictures.
Especially important for:
Persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and anyone who finds complex text hard.
Why Easy Read Matters
🚫 When information is hard:
People cannot make informed decisions.
Others decide for them.
Rights stay only on paper.
✅ When information is Easy Read:
People understand their options.
People give informed consent.
People speak up for themselves.
"Understanding is the first step to dignity."
Easy Read is a Right – Not a Favour
Access to understandable information is a human right recognised under:
- 🇺🇳 United Nations Convention (UNCRPD)
- 🇮🇳 RPwD Act, 2016 (Section 42)
"For persons with IDD, Easy Read is the key."
