SUMMARY:Advocating against the draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention - Online
DESCRIPTION:Topic: Advocating against the draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention: ending coercion in mental healthcare. Online launch of advocacy toolkit \nSince 2014\, the Council of Europe (regional organisation composed of 47 European countries) and its Committee of Bioethics are working on a piece of legislation to regulate involuntary treatment and placement in psychiatry – the so-called “draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention”. This initiative has been highly criticised by users and survivors of psychiatry\, organisations of persons with disabilities\, other civil society organisations\, bodies within the Council of Europe and experts from the United Nations\, including the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. \nDespite the opposition\, member states of the Council of Europe have continued to support the work on this draft protocol\, ignoring their obligations under international law. A final draft has been approved and will be put for a vote in June 2021 within the Committee of Bioethics\, for final adoption at the end of 2021 or early 2022. \nThe European Disability Forum and Mental Health Europe\, together with numerous stakeholders are strengthening efforts to oppose the draft and request the withdrawal of the protocol. At this occasion\, they are launching an advocacy toolkit against the draft additional protocol to the Oviedo Convention. \nSpeakers include representatives from the European Disability Forum\, Mental Health Europe\, the European Network of (Ex)-Users and Survivors of Psychiatry\, Human Rights Watch\, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities\, and more! \nObjectives: \n• Present the latest draft additional protocol and understand why it violates human rights\n• Understanding the process of adoption of the draft protocol\n• Present the advocacy toolkit and how to use it \nThe webinar will provide International Sign interpretation and real-time captioning (English). The webinar will be recorded and shared later for those who cannot join. \nRegister for the webinar here

SUMMARY:Why and how should we prioritize marginalized communities in the rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in Europe? - Online
DESCRIPTION:Public health means protection of the population as a whole and health for all. It is not only a question of fairness\, but also failure to vaccinate certain social groups\, who are often more susceptible because of pre-existing health conditions or their living environment\, has repercussions for the rest of the community.  \n\n\n\n\nJoin EPHA’s online discussion to explore how national governments and the European Commission can ensure that EU guidelines and national COVID-19 vaccination plans turn equitable access to vaccination into a tangible reality for all in Europe. \nClick here to learn more \nClick here to register
