Blogging at the UN in New York

MDAC is participating in the Conference of States Parties to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilties at the UN Headquarters in New York. The meeting started today, Wednesday, and continues until Friday evening. We are blogging the event to make proceedings accessble to a wide variety of NGOs and others who are not able to attend. This is the first time we are doing this, so please bear with us on any hitches!

The Mental Disability Advocacy Center (MDAC) advances the human rights of children and adults with actual or perceived intellectual or psycho-social (mental health) disabilities. Focusing on Europe and Central Asia, we use a combination of law and advocacy to promote equality and social integration. MDAC has participatory status with the Council of Europe.

MDAC's vision is for a world that values emotional, mental and learning differences, and where people respect each other's autonomy and dignity.
