Gr8 article by @IsabellaMcrae that gives this story the attention it deserves because grave & systematic violations of Deaf & dis ppl's rights SHOULD matter. #CRDP24 bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
Government just found once again to be failing disabled people by the UN and these are the stories that are taking up the right wing press. I was right when I said the gov would attempt to bury this

"With terms like “sick note culture” and “parked on welfare”, Sunak was operating straight from the benefits-bashing playbook wielded with great effect by consecutive Conservative administrations to demonise benefits claimants." bylinetimes.com/2024/04/24/wit…
We heard this rhetoric when @RishiSunak gave his speech about welfare reform & sick-note culture. He said it was a 'moral mission' but the UN committee had a different view describing the reforms as devaluing disabled people & undermining human dignity. #CRDP24 #DefendOurRights
#CRDP24 Dpac members will not be at all surprised to learn that the UK government has failed to take the necessary actions to address the grave and systematic human rights violations towards disabled people You can read the report here tbinternet.ohchr.org/_layouts/15/Tr…
The Committee finds that the State party has failed to take all appropriate measures to address grave and systematic violations of the human rights of persons with disabilities and has failed to eliminate the root causes of inequality and discrimination Please RT #UNCRPD2024

The Committee is concerned that during the assessment period, there has been no significant progress for disabled people throughout the UK concerning their right to living independently and being included in the community. RT #UNCRPD2024
The Committee is concerned that during the assessment period, there has been no significant progress for disabled people throughout the UK concerning their right to living independently and being included in the community. RT #UNCRPD2024
Without a robust holistic approach, disabled people will not be supported to be work ready. The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that this process is not trauma informed, not sufficiently linked to other services and support, and not suitable to assist people to be job ready.
The Committee is deeply concerned that personal assistance designed to cover bare subsistence is being offered to dis ppl instead of the amount of personal assistance required to achieve the holistic potential and full enjoyment of the right to live independently RT #UNCRPD2024
