Thus, we should be interested in this initiative, know it better, and see it as an opportunity for promoting an inclusive development approach. c. The Decade of the Americas for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In June 2006, the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) approved the Decade of the Americas for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006-2016), with the goal of focusing attention on the discrimination, social exclusion and poverty that affects people with disabilities in the Americas. After approving the declaration, the OAS ratified a Program of Action, which has only been very minimally fulfilled to date due to weak commitments by the OAS and its member states. Nonetheless, we should view this declaration for the decade, and particularly its plan of action, as an opportunity for influencing both the OAS and our nations’ governments, and pressure them to translate their declarations and agreements into concrete actions aimed at improving the living conditions of people with disabilities, especially those living in Latin America and the Caribbean. d. Other important arenas. It is important to take advantage of any arena that offers an opportunity to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities, including legislative assemblies and congresses, ministries or other important public institutions, but we must also bring the idea of inclusive development to the environments where we live, such as municipal councils or neighborhood or district committees. District or community committees are a good sounding board, since it is easier to explain the needs and problems of people with disabilities in these places where we are surrounded by friends and neighbors. For example, we can explain the need for well-constructed ramps, and people with disabilities and those using wheelchairs can act as advisors to the construction process. 54
We can find allies in these committees who will accompany us and support actions in municipal arenas and with government or legislative authorities. It would also be wise to explore whether the issue of disability is included in municipal or local government plans. If it isn’t, arenas should be sought (such as requesting an audience at a municipal session) where the demands and needs of disabled people can be presented. Another option that has already been put into practice is requesting an audience in municipal commissions that address issues of interest to the community, to present the concerns and proposals of people with disabilities and their organizations. An inclusive development approach should be part of all of these efforts! WE COME FROM “THE COUNTRY OF THE EXCLUDED” WE WANT TO BE INCLU- DED IN THE DEVELOP- MENT OF THE COUNTRY 55
