Chairman Menendez Applauds Senate Passage of National Defense Legislation Including Foreign Relations Committee Priorities

The International Children with Disabilities Protection Act protects children with disabilities to live and grow up in a family and avoid being placed in an institution or orphanage. It is everything we've fought for over 30 years.

Celebrating International Day of Disability and the International Children with Disabilities Protection Act

This bill represents everything we’ve been working on for over two decades. All children — especially children with disabilities — need our support to live and grow up in a loving family. And they need protection against being placed in orphanages or other institutions.

—   Laurie Ahern, President, Disability Rights International
