The Disability and Human Rights Observatory (ODDH) in partnership with its Advisory Board prepared the ‘Parallel Report on the Monitoring of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Portugal’ which was submitted, in July 2015, to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of the United Nations.

This ‘Parallel Report’ - subscribed by 32 entities which are representative of 241 Disabled People Organizations – was a the response to the call of the involvement of the civil society on the monitoring of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (article 33 (3)).

The ‘Parallel Report’ and The State Party’s Report are both available here in the website of the United Nations.
