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.

The Meeting Place provides brief and accessible selection of recent highlights and opinions, relevant for children with disabilities. Led by Disability Rights International, and in collaboration with the Global Coalition on Deinstitutionalization (GC-DI) and Lumos Foundation, The Disability Rights Initiative for Children works to bring together the disability and child rights communities — creating a true meeting place for collaboration, shared learning, and coordinated action.
