Subject: [crpd-forum] CRPD Committee - Regional Consultations - “From isolation, invisibility and segregation into inclusion of persons with disabilities in the community”

Dear all,

The Committee has launched a process of regional consultations with persons with disabilities and their representative organizations in connection with the right to live independently and be included in the community (art 19 of the CRPD), the prevention of institutionalization of persons with disabilities and  deinstitutionalization processes.

Given the negative impacts and risks on persons with disabilities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the response measures by States , the Committee seeks to provide opportunities for persons with disabilities, notably those who are particularly marginalised and in institutions, to voice their experiences, opinions, and proposals, with a view to prepare a first draft Guidelines on Deinstitutionalization, including in emergency situations.

 In this way, the Committee would reinforce the operationalisation of the right to living independently and being included in the community (article 19)<https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/CRPD/Pages/ConventionRightsPersonsWithDisabilities.aspx#19>, the Committee’s General comment No. 5 (2017) on living independently and being included in the community<https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/treatybodyexternal/Download.aspx?symbolno=CRPD%2fC%2fGC%2f5&Lang=en> and its Guidelines on liberty and security of the person (2015)<https://tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/treatybodyexternal/Download.aspx?symbolno=A/72/55&Lang=en>.

The two first online consultations will be:

  *   Central Asia and Eastern Europe on Thursday 25 February 2021.
  *   Central and South America will be held on Tuesday 2 March 2021.
For more detailed info on the scope of the consultations, countries involved, exact time of each consultations, eand ways on how to participate, please read carefully the document attached, published by the CRPD Committee on its website<https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/CRPD/24thSession/Consultation-process-Informative-note-OPDs.docx>.

More information on the following consultations will be shared when available. Stay attentive.

IDA will be supporting the CRPD Committee and promoting participation of organizations of persons with disabilities in the 7 regional consultations.

Best regards,
