László Bercse, Chair of the European Platform of Self-Advocates and the Vice-President of Inclusion Europe, speaks about the impact of Covid 19 on lives of persons with disabilities.

The world is not designed for people with intellectual disabilities. We already knew it, but we thought putting together several absurd situations that happened during quarantine would prove this even more.
The COVID-19 is changing every aspect of our societies, revealing pre-existing inequalities and highlighting that work on disability inclusion is imperative. Therefore, Inclusion Europe highlights news and statements around the topic of rights of people with disabilities and their families.
