2ND MANIFESTO ON THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS WITH DISABILITY

This Manifesto is an essential tool to assist in the process of mainstreaming gender in disability policies and disability in gender policies. In drawing up the 2nd Manifesto we enjoyed invaluable input from the EDF Women’s Committee and from many other women with disabilities and mothers of persons with disabilities from the grassroots disability movement, as well as feedback from many organisations present at the EDF Annual General Assembly. This document has been prepared following the main principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), the European Disability Strategy 2010-2020 and the European Union 2011-2020 Gender Equality Pact.
