Lucia Kureková
Lucia Kureková is a Slovak mother and advocate for children's rights, particularly in the context of educational inclusion for children with disabilities. Recently, she was in the news after her family faced discrimination while seeking a suitable school for her son, who has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. After contacting around thirty schools in western Slovakia, all of which rejected her son, Lucia took legal action, resulting in a landmark court decision that affirmed her son's right to education at his local school. This case has highlighted systemic issues in the Slovak educational system regarding the inclusion of children with special needs.
