Fondation J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lejeune, <span style=\"letter-spacing: 1.1px;\">the organisation which has, for years, set the standard in research and care for people with Down Syndrome, supported the initiative and broadcast the message on several platforms in France.<\/span> Yet, after a French public authority deemed the video to not be a \u201cmessage of general interest\u201d, the foundation were prevented from sharing their message on state television.<\/p><p>\u201cADF International is proud to support Fondation J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lejeune in calling out discrimination against people with Down Syndrome. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a democratic society, protected by international human rights law. Why censor somebody for speaking out about their life with a disability? We hope that the court will recognise that these voices are of immensely high value, and make a stand for the rights of persons with disabilities across Europe,\u201d said Jean-Paul Van De Walle, legal counsel for ADF International, who are representing the disability group before the court.<\/p><p> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"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\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_Ju-q4OnBtNU_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">Est\u00e1s viendo un contenido de marcador de posici\u00f3n de <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.

Her message read, \u201cI\u2019m expecting a baby. I\u2019ve discovered he\u2019ll have Down Syndrome. I\u2019m scared: what kind of life will my child have?\u201d. In response, people with Down Syndrome share their stories, their joys and their challenges to reassure the worried mother that life with Down Syndrome can be fulfilling and enriching.<\/p><p>\u201cNo matter who the child is, their mother can be happy! I urge everyone to accept people like me because we are no different from you,\u00bb said Robin Sevette, Actor with Down Syndrome, featured in the infomercial &#8216;Dear Future Mum&#8217;.<\/p><p>For some time, Fondation J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lejeune shared this encouraging footage across various French media platforms as a \u00abmessage of general interest\u00bb.<\/p><p>That was until the French government issued an opinion to say that it was not in fact such a message. It claimed the video would cause offense to women who had chosen to abort their children with disabilities.\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 1.1px;\">In France, 96 percent of pre-born children with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 1rem; letter-spacing: 1.1px;\">Suddenly, the state television channel refused to broadcast the video any more.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Advocates across Europe call for end to discrimination against Down Syndrome<\/b><\/p><p>In 2019, some 104 000 children were born with congenital disorders in the EU, representing 2.5% of all births in that year. Data from 2015 estimates the population of persons with Down Syndrome in Europe to be at 417,000. Yet, widespread discrimination and stigmatization remain.<\/p><p>Last week, the World Health Organisation was forced to apologise for incorrectly implying that Down Syndrome is a \u201cbirth defect\u201d which is \u201cpreventable\u201d through antenatal and newborn care. Parents of children with Down syndrome were particularly vocal in calling out the \u201cignorant\u201d use of language which according to experts, can play a critical role in perpetuating stigma and discrimination. Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder, not a birth defect.<\/p><p>Meanwhile in the UK, a 26-year-old woman with Down Syndrome is taking legal action against the government for upholding a law which allows for children with the condition to be aborted up until birth; compared to the 24-week gestation limit for other children.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left:
