We ask the Czech Republic to adopt community care – ETR

They focus on the right to live in the community
because people with intellectual disabilities should live
with others as free and equal citizens.

The EEG tells local, national and international governments
that they need to respect human rights
and provide care and support where needed.

This week the EEG have shared with the public a letter
they sent to the Czech government.

The Czech government has plans
for some people to live in institutions.

Those people will be kept away from society,
unable to make their own decisions.

The EEG is asking them to stop.

You can read their letter here.
