Nearly 40 participants from 13 European countries came to talk about the multiple discriminations women with intellectual disabilities face, and how to tackle this issue.
Inclusion Europe organised a training in Brussels between 4 and 6 December 2019.
The training was about the rights of women with intellectual disabilities.
The training will take place in Brussels, Belgium from 4 - 6 December 2019. Registrations are open until 6 November.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) has urged member states to “immediately start to transition to the abolition of coercive practices in mental health settings”.
Inclusion Europe, the European Disability Forum and the European Women’s Lobby express their concern about the lack of women with disabilities at the conference held on 24 May.
Silence, stigma, not being believed: This is what makes it so difficult to talk about violence against women. For women with intellectual disabilities, these barriers are even higher – especially if they are living in institutions, segregated from the rest of society, with no one who would listen.
