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. 🌍🤝

As Prof. Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights @srpoverty, notes - the EU's work for #SocialRights must be anchored in the @coe´s European Social Charter ⬇️
In our current EU context of climate shocks, pandemic shocks & the cost of living crisis, commitment to the European social model is a source of resilience. Anchoring the EU´s contribution to social rights in the European Social Charter will ensure that the cement of societies is further strengthened.

"The EU could anchor its contribution to #socialrights more firmly in the #ESC, by referring to it in impact assessments accompanying legislative proposals, or by interpreting the Charter of Fundamental Rights in line with the #ESC." - Olivier de Schutter @DeSchutterO

"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. 📍Long term care should be UNCRPD compliant & adhere to guidelines on independent living

Many informal care providers are mothers who not only care for their children, but also for their older family members and those with disabilities. This must be recognised! #SocialRights #LongTermCare
