The European Commission has published its Roadmap for a new European Disability Strategy for 2021-2030. The Roadmap outlines the rationale and aims of the proposed Strategy, as well as inviting feedback and suggestions from all stakeholders.
The strategy will build on the previous European Disability Strategy (which ran from 2010-2020), aiming to bridge the inclusion gap that persons with disabilities experience socially, economically and legally. In addition, the Roadmap commits to the Strategy being developed in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Furthermore, it will aim to support the mainstreaming of disability across all EU policy areas, programmes and instruments. Accompanying measures will include data collection, indicators, monitoring, reporting, awareness raising, ensuring the participation and consultation of persons with disabilities. The deadline for contributions is 12 November 2020. You can read more here:
