Promoting and protecting disabled people’s right to live independently

Disabled people’s right to live independently as part of the community is enshrined in Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD). At its heart it is about ensuring that disabled people have the same choice and control over their lives as non-disabled people.

This webinar will inform you of our work to promote and protect the right to independent living. This webinar is for disabled people’s organisations and other civil society organisations with an interest in disability rights. It will include:

• An introduction to the right to live independently as part of the community.
• A summary of the EHRC’s work on this right, including the findings of our recent policy paper.
• Information about opportunities for how you can promote and protect disability rights.
• How our human rights tracker can support your work on disability rights.
