A key barrier to exposing human rights violations against persons with disabilities is invisibility. This is especially the case when violations happen in institutions. Indeed, one might frame institutionalization itself as a form of torture.

Can we start talking about orphanages converting into boarding schools when they face closure? Phenomenon seen in a # of countries to keep children exploited and donors giving. We need to close the gap.
