Committee on Disability Matters

Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh:

We are just over the aftermath of the Grace case and the nursing home issue, which is ongoing for IHREC. This is not an isolated situation. We do not live our lives in a vacuum, and information of liberty and other instruments, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, CEDAW, need to be mainstreamed so those benefit women with disabilities.
