The autonomous CIMND* Department of AStA Bonn represents all students affected by Ableism.
Ableism describes the societal norm of how the human body, perception, thought and communication should function
and the resulting discrimination when people do not conform to this idea. We have observed that many students do not even know what Ableism is, even though they are affected by Ableism themselves. A lot of us felt the same way.
CIMND* stands for Chronically Ill, Mad, Neurodivergent, Deaf and Disabled Persons and others affected by ableism.
Our department is still in the founding phase, but our goal is to actively advocate for the concerns and rights of this status group.
The list above does not have to be an exhaustive list, we are open to dialogue.
We want to provide a platform where those affected by ableism can exchange, network and support each other.
We are also committed to breaking down barriers and promoting inclusion at our university.
To reach that, we will gather information and ideas from which to develop demands and solutions.
We would like to offer advice from a student perspective,
which is why CIMND* Consulting (formerly BOCKS) is now part of our department, to which affected persons are welcome to contact.
We look forward to working with all interested parties and cordially invite you to become part of our community.
Together we can make a difference!
