The LITI-GATE project – Strategic Litigation as a Gateway to address the rights of Persons with Disabilities in the European Union – brings together 6 partners from 5 countries with the aim to promote enforcement of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights with strategic litigation activities to address breaches of the fundamental rights of persons with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities.
This is set to be accomplished through the combined implementation of activities to develop an adaptable and practice-oriented strategic litigation guidebook as well as accessible information to access legal and support services; develop and pilot an adaptable and practice-oriented training programme (including a mentoring programme) to build capacity of civil society organisations and lawyers on how to use the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in strategic litigation for the benefit of persons with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities; and promote multistakeholder cooperation between civil society organisations and legal practitioners.
The project, funded by the European Education and Culture Executive agency of the European Commission, runs for 24 months and started in September 2023.
