There
are around one
million children with intellectual disabilities throughout the European
Union.
These children often find themselves subject to discrimination and
exclusion from society, and are frequently denied the right to good
quality education, healthcare, recreation and services. In many cases,
their families are also subject to discrimination and are denied access
to adequate financial and emotional support.
Thanks
to the funding
from the European
Commission this
project aims to promote the rights of children with intellectual
disabilities across the European Union.
The project, led by Inclusion Europe, Eurochild and Charles University in Prague, began in December 2009. Over a period of two years, it will analyse the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child from the perspective of children with intellectual disabilities, by conducting research throughout the 27 Member States of the European Union.
