Yeradwadi Memorial Day And Rights Of The Disabled

Disability Inclusion is a necessary condition for safeguarding human rights, sustainable development, and peace and security. This is also at the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development's commitment to leave no one behind. The promise of realizing the rights of persons with disabilities is not only a matter of justice; it is a step towards a better future. The COVID19 global crisis has deepened pre-existing inequalities, exposed the scope of exclusion, and emphasized the need to commit to disability inclusion. One billion people with disabilities are one of the most excluded groups in our society and one of the death groups most affected by this crisis.

Even under normal circumstances, people with disabilities are unlikely to have access to health care, education, employment, and community involvement. A comprehensive approach is needed to ensure that people with disabilities are not left behind.

Disability inclusion will lead to COVID19 response and recovery, better service for all, more adequate virus suppression, and better rebuilding. It will provide a more agile system capable of dealing with complex situations, reaching the most backward position first.

Convention on the Rights of Person With Disabilities
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol) were adopted at United Nations Headquarters in New York on December 13, 2006 and opened for signature on March 30. 2007. There are a total of 82 signatories of the Convention, 44 signatories of the Optional Protocol and 1 ratifier of the Convention. This is the highest number of signatories on the opening day of the United Nations Convention. This is the first comprehensive human rights treaty in the 21st century, and also the first human rights treaty open for signature by regional integration organizations. The convention went into effect on May 3, 2008.

The Convention follows decades of work done by the United Nations to change attitudes and methods towards persons with disabilities. Treat people with disabilities as "objects" of charity, health care and social security

The change to treat people with disabilities as "subjects" with rights, who have the ability to claim these rights and make decisions for their interests, raises movement to a new height. Their lives are based on their free consent and being active members and responsible citizens of society and the country.

The Convention is conceived as a human rights instrument with a clear dimension of social development. It adopted a broad classification of persons with disabilities and reiterated that all types of persons with disabilities should enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms. It clarifies and defines how all types of rights apply to persons with disabilities, and identifies areas where rights must be effectively exercised for persons with disabilities, areas where rights are violated, and areas where protection of rights must be strengthened.

The convention was negotiated during the eighth session of the General Assembly Ad Hoc Committee from 2002 to 2006, making it the fastest-negotiating human rights treaty.

The Constitutional rights of persons with disabilities:
  • Article 15 is the embodiment of the "right to equality" under Article 14, because it embodies the specific dimensions of the principle of equality related to discrimination by the State or for various reasons. Unlike Article 14, which protects "anyone", Article 15 only provides protection to citizens. Therefore, in the application, article 15 protects against discriminatory state activities, but the scope of article 15 is more limited than that of article 14
     
  • Article 15 of the Indian Constitution deals with the "prohibition of discrimination "on the grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or sex. Place of birth. The content of is as follows: Article 15 (2) of stipulates that no citizen shall be subject to any limitation or condition of liability for disability solely on grounds of religion, race, caste, gender, place of birth or any of them
     
  • Equal social, economic and cultural rights:
    Article 25 of the CRDP providestheright of disabled person to get education. To make this right effective on the basis of non-discrimination and equal opportunities, the States parties will ensure inclusive education systems at all levels and lifelong learning. "They believe that if the Constitution clearly guarantees the right to education, the right to free education or the right to compulsory education for children with disabilities, or prohibits the Discrimination in education on the grounds of disability, the Constitution will provide education for children with disabilities.
     
  • Right to work:
    Article 27 of CRDP instructs states to "recognize the right of people with disabilities to work on equal terms with others; This includes the opportunity to choose or accept jobs in an open, inclusive and barrier-free job market and work environment The right to earn a living.
     
  • The right to liberty:
    Article 14 of the CRPD instructs States parties to protect the personal liberty and security of persons with disabilities. We believe that if they are explicitly granted liberty or liberty, their right to liberty will be guaranteed. Globally, only 9% of the constitution clearly guarantees the freedom of people with disabilities. However, 19% of the constitution stipulates that people with mental health problems can be deprived of their liberty.
     
  • Right to Freedom of Speech:
    In Article 21, CRPD stipulates that "all measures shall be taken to ensure that persons with disabilities can exercise their right to freedom of speech and expression including seeking, receiving and disseminating information and on the basis of equality with others, through their choice All forms of communication to express ideas."
     
  • Rights of the Disabled in India:
    Disabled people are one of our most underserved sectors. This is because the total indifference of the society makes these people opposed and disgusted. According to various Indian laws and the United Nations conventions followed in India, these people enjoy various rights. According to Article 2 (i) of the Disability Act 1995, "disability" includes blindness, low vision, cure for leprosy, hearing impairment, Disability. Movement disorders, mental retardation and mental illness.
     
onclusion
Disability refers to the disadvantage or restriction of activities caused by the way of social organization, with little or no consideration of physical, sensory or mental impairment. It not only affects the natural way of life, but also affects the intensity and strength of the desperate component. The government must implement more social security programs for the disabled and create more employment opportunities for them. Various disability welfare programs and conferences emerged from the relief and successfully provided equal opportunities for the disability sector.
