It is unbelievable that Equality has been downgraded from its current position as a standalone portfolio.

We urgently ask members of the European Parliament to lead the charge in restoring the position of Commissioner for Equality.

[European Disability Forum @MyEDF]

We welcome the EU decision to present a candidate for the Committee as sign to it's commitment for disability rights. Ms Placencia-Porrero has a deep knowledge of the European reality and extensive experience in disability policies 1/2

#accessibility is a human right and a precondition to independent living and full societal participation for persons with disabilities.
