Wang Shiou, a TCI Fellow and Founder of Taiwan Mad Alliance (TMA), has made a submission to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child for General Comment No. 27 on Children’s Right to Access to Justice and to an Effective Remedy.
The submission focuses on:
- Ensuring the rights and inclusion of children with disabilities
- Advancing deinstitutionalization and community-based alternatives
- Promoting child-led decision-making and meaningful participation
The submission strongly urges State Parties to fully implement the UN Guidelines on Deinstitutionalisation, to prohibit all forms of forced placement or institutionalization under the guise of “protection”, and to ensure that independent monitoring and access to remedies are available and accessible to all children, especially those with disabilities.
