EU-stadgan om de grundläggande rättigheterna

Around 2.5 million children participate in judicial proceedings across the European Union (EU)

This book will tell you about violence and children with disabilities. It looks at violence, where it happens, and why people are violent.

Children with disabilities face significant barriers to enjoying their fundamental rights. They are often excluded from society, sometimes living in facilities far from their families. They are also denied access to basic services, such as health care and education, and endure stigma and discrimination, as well as sexual, physical and psychological violence. This summary report outlines relevant international and European standards and reviews national legislation and policies addressing violence against children with disabilities. The summary also explores the extent and different causes, settings and forms of such violence, and presents measures and initiatives to prevent it.
