Why article 25

Article 25 foundation was born out of love and need for people living with dementia.In many parts of the world, people with dementia are excluded from daily life, seen as crazy, stripped of all their rights, shamed into degrading facilities and in some countries even murdered. We find this demeaning and want to change this and…. hopefully together with you.
