Sir Robert Martin speaks about the importance of the Guidelines on Deinstitutionalization: "The institutions are not just bricks and mortar, they are also the beliefs and engines and actions of others."

In my communication to Ukrainian authorities on the displacement of institutionalized children within #Ukraine and to neighboring countries, I ask: 1) That the 🇺🇦 government maintains its commitment to deinstitutionalization 👇

... and 2) That the international community supports #Ukraine's efforts to move these children out of institutions & into the community. Compliance with #CRPD during war & reconstruction will benefit everyone.👇 spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBase/…

A key barrier to exposing human rights violations against persons with disabilities is invisibility. This is especially the case when violations happen in institutions. Indeed, one might frame institutionalization itself as a form of torture. 👉youtu.be/GRzHMaGMang

Dragana Milovanovic delivers a statement on behalf of the Global Coalition on Deinstitutionalization: "When investing in services which do not comply with the Guidelines, labeling them as "transitional", there is a strong risk that those services will become the only option".
