We need your help on a project to strengthen disability advocacy around the world – especially for children and adults detained in orphanages, psychiatric hospitals or other institutions. There is no substitute for getting inside closed facilities to meet people face-to-face and hear their stories. By documenting conditions, we expose abuses and hold governments accountable. We are striving for the day when no one is segregated from society because of a disability.
Investigations
Documenting and reporting on the pervasive and abusive practice of institutionalizing children and adults with disabilities.
Advocacy
Global campaigns to end institutionalization and empower people with disabilities to make change in their own societies.
Strategic Litigation
To protect victims of abuse and ensure their full inclusion in society through international human rights bodies.
