Description
In this project, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights in Austria (BIM) in cooperation with partners from Austria (SiM), Italy (Antigone) and Germany (Strafvollzugsarchiv) aims to gain insight into the lived experiences of persons deprived of their liberties with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities in light of the Covid-19 measures and to identify paths for future research on the challenges of pandemics. It strives to enhance the awareness of the general public and relevant stakeholders as well as to develop recommendations on how the situation in times of a pandemic can be improved.
