Today, at the Social Rights Roundtable in Brussels, we reaffirmed that social rights are human rights.
Bridging the European Social Charter & the EU's Social Pillar is key to combat poverty, exclusion & foster justice.
Let’s unite for a stronger Social Europe. 🌍🤝

"Enhanced EU &CoE collaboration to advance #socialrights has never been more important. Falling living standards, growing threats to democracy (...) & the ever-more evident climate crisis makes clear that this work cannot be delayed." -A. Nolan, President of #ECSR

“The fight for social rights requires persistence, empathy & above all, action. But we also know that every step forward—no matter how small—brings us closer to a world where injustice and inequality are no longer tolerated.”- Amb. Andriy Zayats, Head of @coe office in Brussels.

At @social_platform policy debate ‘The Future of #LongTermCare’, we highlighted the lack of support services for #autistic people across Europe to live independently & be included in society.

This must be recognised!
