Leaving no one behind: Addressing multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination

Carlos Rios Espinosa, from Human Rights Watch emphasized issues o multiple discrimination for #children with #disabilities in implementing the SDGs.

Children with disabilities are often forced to live in institutions because families may be poor or are not provided with adequate supports to maintain their child at home.

Children in institutions lack meaningful and inclusive education - being neglected ability to fully develop their capacities.  Legal capacity is denied, often when they reach majority the institutions have their guard.

Once you are in an institution you're not likely to acquire work capacity or receive support in the community, reinforcing a cycle of poverty and exclusion.
