🚨 Join the workshop: Do you want to join a movement of investigators on fundamental rights violations supported by EU funds?🚨 In our recent investigation: ➤ We uncovered 63 projects, worth €1.1 billion, supported by EU funds that violate fundamental rights. ➤ We know we’ve only scratched the surface. ➤ Currently, only a small number of activists and organisations are involved in uncovering these abuses — we need more voices and eyes to expose violations and push for lasting change in EU fund management and legislation. Together, we can stop EU money from supporting fundamental rights violations. 👉 If you haven’t yet, this is a kind reminder to register via this link: https://forms.office.com/e/EDFpbcBq2i Workshop details: 📅 Date: Friday, 4 July 2025 🕙 Time: 10:00 – 13:00 CET 📍 Location: Online & in-person (Liberty Room, Burotel, 37 rue du Congrès, 1000 Brussels) ✅ Please register by Wednesday, 2 July, COB.

🕒 Just a few days left to register! The Validity Foundation is pleased to invite you to attend its upcoming international webinar, “Strategic Litigation under the EU Charter and Other International Law Mechanisms”, taking place on Friday, 27 June 2025, from 10:00 to 13:00 CEST, via Zoom. Organised within the framework of the LITI-GATE project, this webinar will explore how international legal mechanisms can be leveraged to uphold the rights of persons with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities. ⚖️International courts and treaty bodies offer powerful tools to challenge systemic discrimination. Yet, for many persons with disabilities, access to these forums remains limited. This session will present practical strategies and real case examples on how to use the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the Court of Justice of the EU, the European Court of Human Rights, and UN Treaty Bodies to address these barriers. 🎤 The event will be moderated by Simona Florescu, Litigation Director at Validity Foundation, and will feature legal practitioners, policy experts, and self-advocates with extensive experience in disability rights litigation. ⚖️Whether you're a lawyer, advocate, academic, member of an organisation of persons with disabilities (OPD), NGO representative, or a person with lived experience, this webinar offers valuable insights into advancing disability justice through international law. 💻 Participation is free of charge. 📍 Register by 25 June 2025 at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IPr4HNCXRPSC-ZDhvg5B1g (fb)
