The report, Employment and Covid-19 report, is written by Inclusion Europe and Plena inclusión under the My Talents For Diversity project. The report covers the state of employment of people with intellectual disabilities, before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Getting people out of institutions is a human rights obligation. The EU has done a lot in the 10 past years to achieve this, but there is still a long way to go.
In the context of our 2020 campaign about Inclusive Education, Inclusion Europe published a paper on Inclusive Education and Legal Capacity, highlighting the importance of Inclusive Education for the integration of people with disabilities and their legal capacity.
As a part of our 5E's campaigns (Empower, Elect, Educate, Employ, End segregation) this briefing looks at how denial of legal capacity impact employment of people with intellectual disabilities.
Inclusion Europe wants people to know what happened to people with intellectual disabilities and their families during the Covid-19 crisis. The report shows people with intellectual disabilities were segregated and discriminated against once more.
