The European Disability Forum (EDF) has contributed a report to the second review of the EU’s implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The EDF alternative report examines the European Union’s (EU) implementation of the UNCRPD, covering the period of time since the first review by UNCRPD Committee in 2015. EDF’s report highlights that whilst some progress has been made by the EU in the intervening years (including through adoption of the European Accessibility Act, the European Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities etc.) the primary objective of the UNCRPD, to ensure the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities, has not been fully realised. During EDF’s drafting of the report, Alzheimer Europe contributed by highlighting issues relevant for people with dementia, their families and carers.
