Accessible summary• In 2004 there was an international conference at the Open University about the history of self‐advocacy. Self‐advocates and their supporters came from many different countries. • This issue of the journal is a collection of papers from that conference. • The papers tell how self‐advocacy is taking place in different countries. • Together the papers give a bigger picture of self‐advocacy and show how people in different countries are often dealing with similar issues.
