Resulta imprescindible incluir la #discapacidad como factor a tener en cuenta cuando abordamos y analizamos el delito de #tratadepersonas si verdaderamente queremos hacerlo desde un enfoque interseccional. Lo tenemos en cuenta cuando definimos estrategias para la prevención, detección, recuperación o reparación? #trata #contralatrata #endhumantrafficking
UN Special Rapporteur on Trafficking in Persons, especially women and children (2020-2026). Established Professor and Director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights, School of Law, University of Galway, MRIA
Our first Joint Statement - with UN Special Rapporteur on Rights of Persons with #Disabilities, Heba Hagrass, Petya Nesterova, Council of Europe Convention on action against trafficking in human beings, and Commissioner Andrea Pochak, Rapporteur on Human Mobility, Inter-American Commission, CIDH_IACHR - highlighting the urgency of ensuring that anti-trafficking measures respect and ensure disability rights. #CRPD #WorldDayAgainstTrafficking For persons with disabilities, risks of trafficking may be increased as a consequence of discrimination, exclusion and failures of policy and practice. Ineffective and inaccessible prevention, assistance and protection measures, lead to aggravated risks and failures to vindicate equal rights. We call on all states to ensure that measures to combat trafficking in persons are universally accessible and ensure equal access to justice without discrimination. Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy and agency, including the freedom to make one's own decisions must be ensured in all anti-trafficking measures. Persons with disabilities, including children with disabilities, have the right to reasonable accommodation to guarantee access to all prevention, assistance and protection measures on an equal basis with others. Meaningful participation and inclusion of persons with disabilities must be ensured in the design and implementation of measures to combat trafficking in persons, for all purposes of exploitation. In situations of conflict, displacement or humanitarian emergency, persons with disabilities may be at heightened risk of exploitation due to lack of accessible and inclusive responses. Girls and women with disabilities may face multiple risks, exclusion, and reduced access to protection and relief efforts. Addressing the structural causes of trafficking requires urgent action to ensure access for all to education and training, just and fair conditions of work, freedom of movement and choice of residence, and the right to independent living. [..] Children with disabilities living in institutions, in street situations, refugee, migrant or internally displaced children, are at greater risk, especially when child protection systems are weak, non-inclusive and enforcement of the rights of the child and protection of best interests are limited. Protection of the rights of all children, leaving no child behind, is central to anti-trafficking measures. The voices of persons with disabilities need be heard. Organisations of persons with disabilities, including those representing women, children, youth and older persons with disabilities, must participate in the design and implementation of measures to prevent and combat trafficking in persons, for all purposes of exploitation, ensuring equal protection of the law and effective access to justice.

To tackle ableism, it's crucial to listen to and amplify the voices of people with disabilities. Their experiences and perspectives matter. Let's be empathetic, challenge assumptions, and support one another. ***************************** Para abordar el capacitismo, es fundamental escuchar y amplificar las voces de las personas con discapacidad. Sus experiencias y perspectivas importan. Seamos empáticos, desafiemos las suposiciones y apoyémonos unos a otros. #C4DP #disabilitypride #disability #disabled #inclusion

Family comes in many forms and everyone’s path to parenthood is uniquely different. No matter those differences, anyone who struggles to build a family should have equal access to whatever option they choose, including the LGBTQ+ community. Here, we have created a hub of resources specific to family building for LGBTQ+ families/couples. These resources unpack your choices, current state and federal legislation that impacts access, and how to make family building affordable. https://lnkd.in/gAHsbaFP

El día de ayer lanzamos la Primera Encuesta Nacional sobre Salud Mental de Juventudes LGBTQ+ y los datos nos revelan una verdad alarmante: Mas del 50% de las #juventudesLGBTQ+ en México han considerado el suicidio en el último año. Esta dolorosa realidad afecta de manera desproporcionada a personas #trans y #nobinaries, con dos de cada tres enfrentando este dilema. La mayoría de quienes enfrentan estas batallas son personas jóvenes de entre 13 y 17 años, una etapa crucial de la vida marcada por la búsqueda de identidad y aceptación. Además, con el estudio se destacan cuestiones clave como el estrés de minorías, la discriminación y la falta de acceso a espacios afirmativos, que se asocian estrechamente con estas angustiosas consecuencias de salud mental. Estos resultados son más que estadísticas; son la voz urgente de quienes luchan contra la discriminación y la falta de validación de sus identidades. Es momento de que todxs tomemos medidas concretas y brindemos el apoyo necesario para garantizar la salud y el bienestar de todas las juventudes LGBTQ+ en México. Cada palabra, apoyo y acción resuena. #TusAccionesHacenEco Consulta los resultados de la Encuesta, en: https://lnkd.in/ezXHbU2R
ICYMI: We released the results of the first LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health Survey in Mexico today, marking a pivotal moment in understanding and addressing the mental health challenges of queer and trans young people in Mexico. These results aren't just numbers; they represent lives at risk. They're an urgent call to action for comprehensive and collaborative mental health support, from governmental institutions to local communities. Hear more from Edurne Balmori about the survey, and why it's time for ALL of us to take tangible steps and provide the necessary support to ensure the health and well-being of all LGBTQ+ youth in Mexico. Every word, support, and action matters. #YourActionsEcho
