We rely a lot on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Canada was asked in 2016 and 2017 by the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to arrange for better work for women and young women with disabilities. Consultations on a counter-report to be tabled to determine where things stand will also begin shortly.
There was also discussion about the importance of adopting an intersectional approach to support disabled women and girls with disabilities who are victims of violence. Nothing has been done yet. All of the spending and assistance programs are not benefiting people in the field directly. That's what concerns us the most. We'd like to know how to go about getting social projects to support these people. We therefore refer a lot to this convention in connection with our work.
