FRA will host a consultation meeting on violence against people with disabilities in institutions from 21 to 22 October. It will build on key findings of FRA’s forthcoming comparative report on laws and practices to prevent and protect against violence towards people with disabilities in institutions in the EU.

The event will bring together key stakeholders, including public authorities, national human rights bodies, service providers and civil society. 

The consultation will focus on supporting national efforts to uphold the rights of people with disabilities to freedom and protect them from violence. It also seeks to strengthen accountability within institutions. 

The meeting will also serve as a platform for peer exchange and cooperation, helping to create impact at national level.
