Bien souvent tabous, les droits génésiques des personnes en situation de #handicap sont pourtant fondamentaux.
Plusieurs pays 🇪🇺 pratiquent encore la stérilisation forcée.
Dans mon rapport je demande à la Commission 🇪🇺 de réagir urgemment. #EUdisability

Être interrompue parce qu'incomprise: tout un symbole. Pour de nombreuses personnes en situation de handicap, l'exclusion c'est leur quotidien. Cela doit cesser
