Is the disability community inclusive of people with hidden impairments, including autistic people? Today at #GlobalDisabilitySummit it becomes clear that more needs to be done. Our autistic Policy Coordinator Florian is sure that the IL Movement is paving the way.

I couldn't be more proud of the @validityfoundation.bsky.social team & our Moldovan partners. This crucial judgment is the first ever addressing servitude of persons w disabilities in context of #DI under Article 4 #ECHR. Inclusion means support in the community, not treating people as possessions.

In a legal first, the Court found violation of Article 4 #ECHR in respect of our client I.C., who was "placed" in a family under guise of #DI, where she was horrifically abused.

Victor was only 15 when he was placed in an abusive psychiatric hospital in #Moldova. As a child with a #disability, he should have received support and care. This year, he achieved justice at the #ECHR. Here's Victor's testimony. If you can, please support our seasonal appeal: shorturl.at/w4c7F
