Deutscher Behindertensportverband und Nationales Paralympisches Komitee (DBS) e.V.

The main mission of the DBS is to inspire people with disabilities, impending disabilities, or chronic illnesses for sports and to offer them a comprehensive and diverse sports program in clubs. The association advocates for gender equality and the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN-CRPD) to promote the participation and inclusion of people with disabilities in society[5].

• Inclusion and Participation: The DBS works to continuously improve the framework conditions for the sports of people with disabilities and to anchor sports equally in society. Projects like the Inclusion Mobile, conducted in cooperation with the REWE Group and Aktion Mensch e.V., aim to showcase the diversity of inclusive sports and motivate visitors to engage in sports together[5].
• Partnerships and Sponsorship: The DBS collaborates closely with partners such as Bayer, Deutsche Telekom, and the Messe Düsseldorf Group to increase the visibility and acceptance of disabled sports in Germany. These partnerships help support the paralympic athletes and raise public awareness of the challenges faced by people with disabilities[1].
• Barrier-Free Infrastructure: The association advises and supports the planning, construction, and maintenance of barrier-free sports and leisure facilities to ensure that all people can participate in movement, play, and sports offerings according to their individual wishes and conditions in a self-determined and equal manner[5].

The German Disabled Sports Association is a central player in the field of disabled sports in Germany and tirelessly advocates for inclusion, participation, and the promotion of people with disabilities. Through its comprehensive offerings, initiatives, and partnerships, the DBS makes a significant contribution to improving the quality of life and achieving equality for people with disabilities in society.
