ENUSP’s Shadow Report on the EU was submitted to the UN CRPD Committee in July 2015. In this report, ENUSP stressed the role the EU must play for all persons with psychosocial disabilities in the EU. Our Shadow Report provided further information to the UN CRPD Committee with the aim to have our issues included in the next phase of Constructive Dialogue during the 14th session of the UN CRPD Committee in Geneva, where the EU review was on the agenda. The report is based on the survey that we conducted to gather information from our members and on the theoretical analysis of the EU “competencies” with regard to implementation of the UN CRPD in psychiatry. The text of ENUSP’s Shadow report is available here.
ENUSP is working towards a Europe where:
all people are free to be themselves, are valued equally and treated with dignity,
all people have the power to make their own life choices and to speak for themselves,
all people have access to a range of supports which respect their autonomy and dignity,
all people are protected from poverty and have an equal chance to live their lives to their full potential,
human crisis is seen in its social context; it is not medically labelled or feared, but is embraced as an opportunity for individual and community growth,
the knowledge of people who have experienced extreme crisis is valued, cultivated and informs systems of support,
the above conditions are equally true everywhere in Europe
