DAMN 2025 Statement in Support of Mandy Hiscocks' Human Rights Application Against Vanier Centre for Women

Posted : Thursday, November 22, 2012 - 11:09am

Disabled people encounter higher than average levels of forced institutionalization. Disability based segregation has been and still is a common practice, to the point of widespread public acceptance, that disregards basic human rights and contributes to the widespread imprisonment of disabled people in places such as provincial institutions, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities and locked hospital wards, as well as in high numbers in provincial and federal prisons. Disability discrimination is also endemic in the immigration system and how people are treated in detention centres.

The G8/G20 meetings took place in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010. Toronto-based organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people organized a peoples convergence with 40,000 people taking to the streets, standing up for justice in collaboration and solidarity!

Activists, community members, inspired and outraged individuals came together as a movement to demand justice for people and the planet. Over a week of mobilizations, events, workshops and direct actions took place in the face of state and police repression, violence and infringements on rights and freedoms.

We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities- an important part of this is supporting all those arrested during the G20 summit, including our allies still in detention, and those released on bail.
