In recent days I was searching about human
rights, to be specific “rights of person with disabilities”, It because is the
topic of my thesis and because I have had bad experience in this rubric.
In a law level all go well, the countries and
its high officials have good ideas even they have include people with disabilities
in their take of decisions, now we have a lot of documents to protect these “poor”
people, these “necessity” people. But in the facts and actions all is equal. We
do not know what feel, expect, think and did when we interact with them, even
the same people with disabilities do not know what are their rights, what they
can demand regarding health, sexual life, architecture, public politics, sports
and entertainment between other topics.
While I was making my social service in a
community of Yucatan I could watch how uninformed is the people and how
injustice they live day at day in their work, in the school in the hospital,
that people do not think that deserve respect.
And sadly in my way between institutions like
CREE (Centro de Rehabilitación y Education Especial), y la SSY (Servicios de
Salud de Yucatan), I have received a lot of criticism, your topic is not
important, is obvious that people do not know their rights but you can change
it, the system is bad and we cannot do anything. People in a position of power
are not interested in this, but they do not understand that disability is just around
the corner, with the aging or the accidents, and more that do something for
them we should be something for us.
I think is no as hard, if we open our minds,
the key is one simple word “equity”, is a reality we are no equals but is also true
that all are humans.
