400,000 Europeans are still denied voting rights on the basis of disability.
Until everyone can vote, the EU cannot be considered a true democracy.

Today, we held a webinar for our members -national associations of the deaf- on the importance of data collection to support their advocacy efforts, via an EUD census on deaf people - thank you to all who participated for your valuable contributions! #EUDisabilityRightsStrategy 📊
We are excited to announce an upcoming workshop exclusively for our Full Members, taking place tomorrow! This workshop will focus on the launch of a comprehensive census on EU deaf citizens—a crucial step in bolstering our advocacy with robust data.
#EUDisabilityRightsStrategy
We join European Women's Lobby's call to the European Parliament : it should adopt the #EndVAW Directive.
While it's not everything we expected, losing this opportunity might mean no Directive - and any new attempts being shelved in the future.

This week, the EU and its Member States adopted the La Hulpe Declaration, setting the tone for future social policy.
We welcome it and its focus on strengthening the #EUDisabilityStrategy and better integrating disability issues into EU policies.

Next week (hopefully) European Disability Forum is launching a report on the inaccessibility of European political parties' digital presence... I just had a look at the first results and let me tell you all.... Worse than even I expected.
Journalists, feel free to reach out!
