On February 13 2012 ENUSP joined forces with the World Network of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry, European Disability Forum and International Disability Alliance. Together, we submitted a third-party intervention to the European Court of Human Rights in a case against Latvia. The case concerns the unlawful deprivation of liberty of a survivor of psychiatry. This is the first time that the Court has ever been presented with genuine arguments on our human rights by users and survivors through our own organisations. More detail…
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
