Look forward to an International Day of Disabled People where we might have something concrete to celebrate... 😬. Not disabled people's supposed 'resilience', 'inspirational' endeavours or 'ability' but effective realisation of our rights and entitlements. Too much to ask for?

We are looking forward to engaging with everyone on all things #ChildrensRights here. Check out our webpage and courses here www.qub.ac.uk/research-cen...

Excellent video from @mywayaccess.bsky.social on why we should be so concerned about the assisted dying bill and its implications for the value we accord to disabled people's lives. The #CRPD is a crucial roadmap to assisted living, fundamental entitlements & minimum standards that aren't being met.
