In accordance with Article 22 of the Protection against Discrimination Act (hereinafter: PADA), the Advocate of the Principle of Equality (hereinafter: Advocate) shall report to the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia (hereinafter: NA) about their work and findings on the existence of discrimination against individual groups of people with certain personal grounds in the framework of special reports. The PADA states in Article 1 that protection against discrimination is provided to individuals regardless of their personal grounds, including disability. Article 2 of the PADA initially lists all stakeholders bound to provide protection against discrimination or equal treatment in the public and private sectors, including state authorities, holders of public authority and legal entities. Furthermore, it is stated that protection against discrimination is provided in several areas of social life, including education. The purpose of this Special Report is to raise awareness on the importance of formulating, adopting and consistent implementation of regulations preventing any chance of discriminatory treatment of students with disabilities, specifically those with reduced mobility, and to facilitate the implementation of measures for the exercise of their equal right in access to education (and other rights). With this Special Report, the Advocate strives to draw attention to the important issue of the rights of students with reduced mobility, to their equal treatment and equal opportunities, as well as the right of full realisation of their potentials in the area of education and training and their constitutional right to education and training.

In accordance with Article 22 of the Protection against Discrimination Act (hereinafter: PADA), the Advocate of the Principle of Equality (hereinafter: Advocate) shall report to the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia about its work and findings on the existence of discrimination involving individual groups of people with certain personal grounds in the framework of Special Reports. /// With this Special Report, the Advocate strives to draw the attention of legislators and the general public to the respect for human rights and equal opportunities of people who don't identify with the gender assigned to them at birth, they don't perceive it as their own as it does not reflect their gender identity. /// The purpose of the Special Report is to present how procedures for medical gender identity confirmation and legal gender recognition are currently regulated in Slovenia, as well as the practice of the competent authorities. /// On procedures for medical confirmation of gender identity, the resolution suggests that medical procedures should be made available to all transgender people who wish to receive them. The costs of treatment should be reimbursed by the public health system. Disease classification must also be changed so that transgender people, including children, are not labelled as mentally ill because of their transgender identity. /// In terms of legal gender recognition, the resolution recommends that procedures should be transparent, fast, and accessible, based on self-determination, and made available to all. Transgender people, their partners, and their children should retain all of their rights as a result. The states are urged to provide a neutral third gender option in addition to choosing between a male and female. /// The Advocate has made several recommendations based on the findings and other available information.

Zakon o varstvu pred diskriminacijo (ZVarD) med področja družbenega življenja, na katerih je diskriminacija prepovedana, uvršča tudi področje vzgoje in izobraževanja. Med osebne okoliščine, zaradi katerih nihče ne sme biti neenako ali slabše obravnavan, Zakon o varstvu pred diskriminacijo uvršča tudi invalidnost. /// Zagovornikovo poročilo se primarno nanaša na gibalno ovirane dijake. Gibalna oviranost je širok pojem, saj se lahko pri posamezniku kaže v različnih oblikah, različni so tudi vzroki zanjo. Zagovornik se je v svojih poizvedbah osredotočil predvsem na dijake s težjo gibalno oviranostjo, ki uporabljajo ročni voziček ali elektromotorni voziček. Če so srednje šole dostopne za težje gibalno ovirane dijake, so namreč dostopne tudi za tiste z blažjimi gibalnimi oviranostmi. Iz podatkov, ki jih je Zagovornik zbral s poizvedbami pri srednjih šolah, je Zagovornik pregledal zakonodajo z vidika uresničevanja pravice do ustrezne izobrazbe za gibalno ovirane dijake. Mednarodne pogodbe in nacionalna zakonodaja uporabljajo različna poimenovanja oseb, ki so jim te pravice podeljene. Na področju človekovih pravic in varstva pred diskriminacijo se uporablja poimenovanje »ljudje z invalidnostmi«, na področju izobraževanja je uveljavljeno poimenovanje »učenci in otroci s posebnimi potrebami«, na področju varstva ljudi z invalidnostmi »invalidi« itn. Tudi Zagovornik uporablja različno terminologijo, kadar povzema točno določeno zakonodajo, v vsebinskem smislu pa gre za gibalno ovirane dijake.
