Disability rights activist
|
Julie Ivarna Næss (25 January 1896 – 11 August 1973) was a Norwegian human rights activist and embroiderer, known for her advocacy for disabled people. Born without arms, she was the founder of the Trøndelag Vanførelag (now part of the Norwegian Association of the Disabled), leading it for many years. Næss visited almost every municipality in Norway in order to support the establishment of local associations for disabled people, in addition to her own home county of Trøndelag. In 1946, she was awarded the silver King's Medal of Merit for her activism.
