According to the report an estimated 1.2 million children and adults with disabilities are living in long-stay residential institutions across the European Union member States. Another survey estimates that there are 150,000 children living in residential care settings across the European Union.

A Joint report by the UN Human Rights office, (OHCHR) and UNICEF documents human rights of people placed in Institutions, particularly children and violation of human rights of persons with disabilities. The UN is advocating for de-institutionalisation and is emphasizing on the need for community care.

  • This is so sad. I admire all the work you do. I hope to work in human rights one day to help with these situations.
