"This report presents the findings from a survey of informants who are active in the field of (intellectual) disability around the globe. We include data on the social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities and attempts to raise awareness of intellectual disability and combat stigma. Furthermore, we provide a review of States Parties reports to the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) Committee relating to Article 8 of the Convention (awareness raising and combating prejudice and harmful practices). The aim of this project was not to produce an exhaustive account of such initiatives but rather to produce an overview of attitudes to intellectual disability around the world; of the range of initiatives implemented in different parts of the world; and to identify priorities for moving forward." - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
