SUMMARY:18th Conference of the States Parties of the CRPD Side Event
DESCRIPTION:Ending restrictive practices against First Nations people with disability: Finding a culturally sensitive way forward\nRestrictive practices\, such as physical restraint\, seclusion and forced medication\, are widely used against people with disability in many institutional and community-based settings around the world.\n\nThese practices not only violate the rights protected under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities\, but also result in severe physical and psychological harm\, often causing life-long trauma.\n\nThese practices are especially harmful when applied to people facing intersecting forms of marginalisation. First Nations people with disability face compounding discrimination in environments such as schools\, workplaces\, healthcare settings\, psychiatric institutions\, juvenile justice systems and prisons. The overuse and misuse of restrictive practices in these settings reflect entrenched ableism\, racism\, and colonial attitudes.\n\nWhile the need to eliminate restrictive practices is increasingly acknowledged\, achieving this goal requires deep structural change and culturally safe\, rights-based alternatives.\n\nAt this event\, we will hear from three First Nations people with disability about their experiences of restrictive practices and how to achieve societal change to eliminate their use. Megan Spindler-Smith (Deputy-CEO\, PWDA) and Tahlia-Rose Vanissum (Woppaburra Woman and First Nations Disability and Gender Justice Advocate) will lead an interactive discussion with attendees reflecting on the speakers’ experiences and discussing possible ways forward.\n\nWatch at: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82489781220\n\n\n\nLocal time zone conversions for event on Monday 9 June at 1:15 PM – 2:30 PM (EDT):\n\n \n\n 	Sydney – Tuesday 10 June 2025 at 3:15 AM (AEST)\n \n 	Adelaide – Tuesday 10 June at 2:45 AM (ACST)\n \n 	Perth – Tuesday 10 June at 1:15 AM (AWST)\n \n 	Brisbane – Tuesday 10 June at 3:15 AM (AEST)
