At the "Towards Inclusion" conference, the Commissioner for Equality found strong words against institutionalisation. EPSA member Elisabeta Moldovan talked about her experiences growing up in institutions.
Getting people out of institutions is a human rights obligation. The EU has done a lot in the 10 past years to achieve this, but there is still a long way to go.
The European Expert Group on the Transition from Institutional to Community-based Care (EEG) will hold the "Towards Inclusion conference" on 16 January in Brussels, Belgium.
