GLOBAL REPORT ON ARTICLE 19: THE RIGHT TO LIVE AND BE INCLUDED IN THE COMMUNITY
To all of our member organizations and the many
individuals with intellectual disabilities and family
members, we thank you for your courage and willingness
to share your hopes, dreams and fears. We hope this
report does justice to your vision for the future, your
experiences of life in the community and all of your efforts
to make our communities stronger for all.
Lastly, thank-you to those people whose voices are missing
from this report. While people with intellectual disabilities
remain incarcerated in institutions or hidden in their
homes they remain invisible and voiceless. We hope this
report helps give them a voice and helps to make that
voice heard.
