The first #CSCRPD forum was about practical implementation of article 4.3.
Recognition of the full transversality of persons with disabilities (what a beautiful word!) is needed in the implementation of the CRPD.
Tina Minkowitz from the Center for the Human Rights of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry raises the issue of understanding mental health and the need to understand all rights equally, for example the understanding that legal capacity is as important as accessible physical environments.
She also highlighted that people with psychosocial disabilities must be brought and included in leadership in the CRPD for a definite paradigm shift out of the medical model.
