    Ahead of the EU elections, this report explores the political participation of people with disabilities. Although some Member States removed restrictions on the right to vote and to stand for elections, barriers still exist. This report is an update of new developments following FRA’s last report published in 2014. It sets out ways forward to ensure people with disabilities have equal opportunities, in line with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

    FRA in close cooperation with the European Commission and the Academic Network of European Disability Experts (ANED), developed 28 human rights indicators to assess the political participation of persons with disabilities in the EU.
    There are many reasons why adults may find themselves in a situation of vulnerability - because of their age, health or disability. Vulnerable people are at greater risk of unfair treatment, exploitation or abuse. And cross-border settings can lead to additional obstacles. It's time to address these challenges and identify the needs of vulnerable adults so everyone can enjoy their fundamental rights.

    The right to vote is at the heart of what it means
    to live in a democratic society. However, legislation
    sets out a number of restrictions on this right. With a view to the European Parliament elections in
    2019, this paper presents developments in the situation
    of the right to vote for people deprived of legal
    capacity in the EU.

    The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities commits both the EU and all of its Member States to realising the right of persons with disabilities to live independently in the community – which includes achieving deinstitutionalisation for those residing in institutional settings. But much remains to be done to make this a reality in practice. This report presents the main insights gained during fieldwork on the drivers of and barriers to deinstitutionalisation. Focusing on the local level, it gives voice to a diverse set of actors – most importantly, to people with disabilities themselves.
    FRA's latest report explores what enables and what hinders the drive towards independent community living for people with disabilities.

    L’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union
    européenne
    (FRA) a souhaité contribuer à une mise
    en oeuvre plus efficace de la désinstitutionnalisation,
    en rassemblant des preuves concrètes de ce
    qui fonctionne ou non sur le terrain. À cette fin,
    l’Agence a mené des recherches approfondies sur
    le terrain dans cinq États membres de l’UE (Bulgarie,
    Finlande, Irlande, Italie et Slovaquie) à différents
    stades du processus de désinstitutionnalisation.
    Le présent résumé fournit les principaux résultats de
    ces recherches menées sur le terrain ainsi que les
    avis de la FRA qui en découlent.
    The EU and all its Member States are legally bound to the UN’s Disability Convention. They have a duty to ensure people with disabilities can live independently in the community rather than in institutions.
    Michael O'Flaherty talks about empowering people with disabilities to be full and independent members of the community.

    The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.

    elle-même ont ratifié la CDPH, s’engageant à permettre
    aux personnes handicapées de vivre de façon
    autonome. Pour ce faire, ils doivent opérer un transfert
    sérieux et durable des modalités de résidence en
    institution aux modalités de résidence de proximité.
    La présente publication résume les conclusions des
    trois rapports de la FRA se penchant sur différents

    Le droit européen en matière de non-discrimination, constitué en particulier des directives européennes relatives à la non-discrimination, de l’article 14 de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme et du Protocole nº 12 à cette convention, interdit toute discrimination fondée sur un certain nombre de motifs et exercée dans un certain nombre de contextes. Le présent manuel examine la législation européenne dans ce domaine, telle qu’elle découle de ces deux sources fondamentales, citant indifféremment l’un ou l’autre de ces systèmes juridiques complémentaires lorsque ceux-ci se recoupent ou mettant en exergue leurs divergences lorsqu’ils diffèrent.

    The transition from institution- to community-based support for persons with disabilities is a complex process that requires multifaceted efforts. These include putting in place commitments and structures for achieving deinstitutionalisation and measuring outcomes for persons with disabilities. This report shows that effectively funding the deinstitutionalisation process is a vital element.
