The Workshop, organised by the Policy Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs for the Committee on Petitions, focuses on the state of play of the Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030.

The Strategy includes a set of actions and flagship initiatives in various domains related to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Most flagship initiatives and other policy actions have already been implemented. Despite progress registered across the EU, petitions addressed to the Committee on Petitions still reveal persistent obstacles encountered by persons with disabilities. The invited guests will discuss the achievements of the Strategy so far and share their reflections on areas where new actions could be proposed.
