For people following me for #DisabilityRights content, this is for you: 👉 If you only care about disability and human rights when white people are affected, then you don’t really care about disability and human rights. We will not forget.

Follow live this evaluation by UN experts: Today from 15h to 18h CET- https://t.co/4mioodfPQb Tomorrow from 15h to 18h CET: https://t.co/IUcXzcxpEY #CRPDnow

EU Institutions are not only lagging on implementing the UN #DisabilityRights Convention, they are also failing their staff with disabilities. UN experts will investigate this today and tomorrow when they review the EU's performance on disability rights: https://t.co/7E71IBZdLF

We published a full report on how the 🇪🇺 is making the rights of persons with disabilities a reality… or not! The objective is to achieve more ambitious laws and policies now and in the coming 5 years. https://t.co/B8MAQTKQT1

Next week @MyEDF will be in Geneva to follow (and inform) the 🇪🇺 review by the United Nations. 📍What does it mean? 📍Why is it important? 📍How can you follow it? All the answers in our web article 👇

Many women with disabilities depend on their abusers for care, transportation or communication, making it even harder. If they do leave, the only option provided since there are often no accessible shelters, it's institutionalisation.

On the 11-12 March, a group of UN experts will evaluate the European Union's performance on #DisabilityRights. Our report released today shows: - Lack of political leadership leads to gaps - Need for a "disability-fit" check in all EU policies Read: https://t.co/LBMzSEadrf 1/2

As Israel blocks aid to Gaza, shocking apologism from EU. Reminder to @kajakallas & @vonderleyen: Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is a war crime. And desperately needed humanitarian aid must never be used as a bargaining tool.

Appalling! Our Vice-President @guntaan was denied boarding in a @LOTPLAirlines plane from Riga to Warsaw because of her wheelchair! This is the nightmare that persons with disabilities face! #EndTheNightmare #RightsOnFlights

Women with disabilities must be part of an inclusive future. We call on Commissioner @hadjalahbib and services in @EU_Justice to ensure the Roadmap explicitly includes women with disabilities. Statement from Women's Committee: https://t.co/vKNijsPvoq #WomensRights #WomensDay

On the European Day of Victims of Crime, we call for the EU to do more to advance the rights of victims with disabilities. We call for: - Ambitious #VictimsRights Directive - Study on access to justice for persons with disabilities. Read: https://t.co/GwhjAgTfgK

The @EU_Commission proposed withdrawal of the #EqualTreatment Directive is unacceptable. We join 8 organisations in denouncing it. It is a slap in the face of the millions of people who fought for the law. The @EU_Commission must reverse course: https://t.co/JIf22Zyo2b

The Council of Europe @coe must stop supporting forced treatment and placement in mental healthcare. This undermines #HumanRights and contradicts the UNCRPD. We urge the Parliamentary Assembly to oppose it. Coercion in mental healthcare must end! https://t.co/llIvMJyzLK

Imagine a pregnant Israeli woman had just been shot by Hamas. It would lead news bulletins, prompt fiery denunciations of Hamas' evil. But this was a pregnant Palestinian woman, shot dead by the Israeli army. So little coverage, no fiery denunciations. https://t.co/a1bnyPh4rG

In 2024, we celebrated the EU law on the European #DisabilityCard & Parking Card! But the journey doesn’t stop here. Join us on 27 February to explore: ➡️ What the law says ➡️ Benefits for persons with disabilities ➡️ Next steps for EU countries Register: https://t.co/50CinTkuMc

Today, I was trusted with the stories of three more women with disabilities who were sterilised against their will. Their pain is on every policymaker who continue to do nothing against this eugenic and violent practice in the EU. We will not forget. #EndForcedSterilisation

How do you say genocide in the EU's 24 languages? As EU leaders meet in Brussels to discuss Israel's actions in #Gaza, we sent them a message they can't ignore #EndGazaGenocide 👇

Tomorrow, the @europarl_en will discuss the second phase of the #EUDisabilityRights Strategy. The @EU_Commission must commit to an update following the demands of the disability movement! Our paper launched today should serve as a roadmap to 2030: https://t.co/MegI9rrPad

Israel has invaded Syria. The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation. A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to.

We thank Commissioner @hadjalahbib for visiting our Photo Exhibition about women with disabilities on #HumanRightsDay during the #EGEF2024. We discussed advancing #EUDisabilityRights and specific challenges for women with disabilites. 1/2

The EU is failing to sufficiently protect LGBTI persons with disabilities. We and @ILGAEurope call on the EU to broaden anti-discrimination laws and adopt an intersectional approach to equality in our "Policy recommendations" released today: https://t.co/mySqaEkBlX
