Irina and Silvia, trailblazers as the first visually impaired archers in Romania
“Demnitate pentru Toți” began with the shared vision of Irina and Silvia, who experienced firsthand the challenges and limitations faced by people with disabilities. Their drive created an organization that would support and empower individuals to lead lives of dignity, purpose, and independence.
Both founders are legally blind and have overcome countless barriers in pursuing sports, including becoming Romania’s first visually impaired archers, proving that disability does not define potential.
Through the Foundation, Irina and Silvia want to create a legacy of support for athletes with disabilities, offering them not only professional training but also a community where they feel valued and seen for their potential, not their limitations. Their mission with Demnitate pentru Toți is to share this determination and help others break through limits.
Personal Commitment to Inclusion:
Irina and Silvia’s dedication originates from a deep, personal understanding of the social isolation that sometimes accompanies physical disabilities. They believe that, through sports, they can help others find purpose, build community, and break out of these isolating boundaries.
Program Goals:
The foundation’s first initiative, “Archery for All,” is more than just an athletic program—it’s a pathway to self-confidence, self-reliance, and community. They aim to create a representative team for Romania, whose achievements will showcase the strength and skill of people with disabilities internationally.
Long-Term Vision:
Beyond forming a single team, Irina and Silvia hope to establish more inclusive sports programs, opening different sports to the disabled community and gradually changing societal perceptions. Their ultimate vision is a Romania where disability is no barrier to success, respect, or inclusion.
Why Support Inclusive Sports?
Emotional Impact on Participants: For many people with disabilities, sports are a way to reclaim independence, strength, and self-respect. Irina and Silvia want each participant to experience the transformational power of sport, empowering them to see themselves in a new, positive light.
Changing Perceptions in Society: By forming a visually impaired archery team, “Demnitate pentru Toți” hopes to shift public attitudes, reduce stigma, and encourage a more inclusive society. When people witness the skill and resilience of these athletes, they’re challenged to see beyond disabilities.
Personal Testimonies of the Founders: Irina and Silvia both testify to the unique empowerment sports have given them. They envision a future where people with disabilities are no longer sidelined but celebrated for their contributions. This mission of inclusion and representation is at the core of their foundation and a legacy they hope to build for future generations.
