🖤 Joachim Busch died after a short, serious illness. He was 67. Joachim was a self-advocate, and an activist for the rights of people with disabilities. Besides that, Joachim was first and foremost a very kind person. Thank you Joachim. We will miss you 💔 www.inclusion.eu/rebembering-...

8 in 10 residential places Prague provides for people with disabilities are outside the city – some more than 4 hours away. 1,000+ people are in places like that. With our partners, we filed a complaint against Czechia with @coe.int Committee of Social Rights. www.inclusion.eu/prague-czech...
