The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 35
Paragraphe- Document
- Paragraph text
- Freedom of choice for persons with disabilities is not just a civil and political right to freedom from forced institutionalization. In article 19 of the Convention, the right to be free to choose where and with whom one lives is set out as a positive right to be included in the community, with access to a range of residential and other support services. In addition, article 19 must be read in conjunction with and is reinforced by article 28 to require not only services but also adequate, accessible housing in which to live.
