Advancing the Rights and Inclusion of Persons with SBH in Europe and Beyond

ongoing

IF envisions a society that fully respects the human rights of children and adults with SBH, celebrates their contributions, and ensures equal access to maternal health literacy. To achieve this, IF engages in human rights advocacy aligned with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and carries out activities in awareness raising, research, community building, capacity development, and human rights education. The Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) will strengthen IF’s ability to foster inclusive societies in Europe. IF’s mission and values align with EU objectives and call priorities. To reach its strategic goals, IF has defined nine objectives to be implemented through four interconnected Actions, supported by specific deliverables and milestones. Action 1 ensures effective networking, programme management, and evaluation. Action 2 includes evidence collection, policy recommendations, stakeholder engagement, and policymaking support at European and international levels. Action 3 targets capacity-building for IF Members, better understanding of EU policies, and cross-border collaboration. Action 4 focuses on awareness raising and dissemination of information on SBH, disability rights, EU initiatives, and IF’s work. All activities contribute to implementing the ESRPD, EPSR, and UNCRPD. The FPA is designed to be dynamic and responsive to IF Members’ evolving needs and changing political and social contexts, ensuring quality and impact through regular monitoring and evaluation.
