Advocating for inclusion and equality for all


In 2019, I was elected Member of The European Parliament. I promised to my voters that I would work for a fairer, more equal and more inclusive Europe and I did eagerly from day one.


As Co-Chair of the Disability Intergroup in the European Parliament, I advocated for more rights for people with disabilities, from access to services, housing, employment and cross-border mobility, to a much needed European Disability and Parking Card.


In 2023, I presented the first ever Inclusion Indicators, a report showing how countries in Europe respect or limit the rights of people with intellectual disabilities and their families, but unfortunately Luxembourg provided no data. Being visually impaired myself, I understand better how important it is to remove barriers and making Europe more inclusive.
