SUMMARY:Closing the Revolving Doors: A Lifespan Approach to Deinstitutionalization – a Side Event at the 18th Session of the Conference of States Parties to the CRPD
DESCRIPTION:Keystone Human Services International is pleased to organize the side event “Closing the Revolving Doors: A Lifespan Approach to Deinstitutionalization” during the 18th Session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Panelists will discuss some of the critical issues\, challenges and opportunities around deinstitutionalization for children and adults with disabilities and share success stories of partnerships that have led to sustainable care reform and community-based supports. \nInstitutionalization for children and adults with disabilities is a revolving door. Once someone enters an institution\, there are few exit pathways\, despite the affirmation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) of the right of all people with disabilities to live independently in and be part of the community. \nA lifespan approach incorporating care reform\, is required to transition away from institutions as the default form of care and achieve full participation and acceptance in the community. \nThe side event will: \n\nDraw from experiences particularly from Central and Eastern Europe and the Global South to highlight the need for a lifespan approach\nHighlight successful examples of transitioning away from institutions\nCollectively identify key action points to advance deinstitutionalization and operationalize Article 19\nExplore how deinstitutionalization and care reform play a key role in building family and community resilience\, social cohesion\, and sustainable development\nIdentify ways in which deinstitutionalization principles can be embedded in the global discourse around the SDGs and post-2030 development agenda\n\nThe event is organized by the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Moldova in New York\, the Ministry of Labor & Social Protection\, Government of Moldova\, and Keystone Human Services International with co-hosts the Foreign\, Commonwealth and Development Office\, Government of UK; UNICEF; and Hope and Homes for Children. \nThis in-person event will also be streamed live on UN Web TV. The Direct Link to view our side event is  https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k15x366bl8. \nMore details about the side event are available through the UN’s COSP website.
