Changes in the face of social exclusion

Changes in the Face of Social Exclusion
Crisis within DPI Over the past 25 years we
have celebrated many advances and achievements as
an organization. Yet, we must also reflect on our
organizational shortcomings weakness
realistically and maturely. We must question our
internal waste, confront and deal with our
organizational fatigue and confusion, become
honest with one and other and become truly
representative. ALL of our Assemblies must
include national dimensions they must be able to
echo the voices of diverse groups of people with
multiple types of disabilities. Within our
Regions, our crisis is expressed as a lack of
formality, demonstrated through excessively long
periods without Assemblies. At World level the
crisis is within our Committees and organisms
must adapt to their functional capacity.
Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that we
have current and accessible from the Headquarter
Office, we need to know how the budget is being
allocated. As members of the Executive Board and
the World Council, we share the responsibility
and must overcome our current state of crisis we
have to achieve our new goals. The following are
urgent changes we must make In the internal
environment, 1. We must have legitimate
representation we must recognize the true
quality of our members 2. We must make space in
our organization for families and friends to
participate in our cause 3. We must effectively
execute our agreements maintain formality,
tranparency and our administrative duties 4. We
need strategic reconstructioning within our
Headquarter Office and 5. Must democratize our
budget, responsibilities and resources.   In
the external environment, the UN Convention on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an
important achievement, BUT formal right it is not
enough. In the majority of countries laws are not
upheld because of a lack of political, apathy
toward the subject and because our Nation-States
have been weakened they are unable to control
their tributaries, nor fulfil their international
commitments.   We live a globalized society
where the interests of a small group are
jeopardizing our interests, governance and have
exacerbated differences and inequality. This
society of globalization not only affects
everyone, it has hit the developing world harder
and arguably the population of people living with
disabilities the hardest.

• The New World Scenario, where our efforts are not
  chased out of the routine of institutional
  administration, today we must confront
  discrimination and social exclusion at the root
  of the problem. We must confront the challenges
  of global social exclusion from multiple angles
  including social, economic and political.
• We have a duty and challenge, to establish an
  organization, a system of democratic global
  governance that is apart from the United Nations
  that is compromised of the diverse actors and
  interests including international socio-economics
  that should guarantee basic conditions social
  inclusion, this is a tremendous challenge!
• But, we are not alone! We need to separate
  ourselves from the image of disability as being
  solely compromised of foolish men and excluded
  women and unlock the door for a society that is
  fair, just, fraternal, respectful and inclusive.
  A world that truly sees people with disabilities
  as equals.

Wilfredo Guzmán, Chairman of DPI Executive
Board Make the difference!
Internacional Moblization For Global Solidarity
The social problems that people with
disabilities face culturally constructed. It is
believed that in our new global scenario we are
lacking a sense of human consciousness and
therefore are losing touch with the diverse
spheres of human life, becoming more intolerant
of our differences and commercializing what we
once held sacred.  International Mobilization for
Global Solidarity, driven by DPI, needs to be a
testimony of the lived experiences of women and
men where we must fraternally share our abilities
and strengths and help each other with our
weaknesses in order to address the realities of
diverse excluded groups. We must adopt innovative
and creative approaches that contribute to new
attitudes and radical social change. We live in a
society that is focused on and centered around
knowledge, our experiences as people with
disabilities are ways to educate the public, and
to demonstrate to communities the value of our
lives, knowledge and abilities that exist despite
adversity.
First World Campaign for the Employment of
Disabled People One form of oppression people
with disabilities face is exclusions from
opportunities and access to dignified work.
Although this has been formally addressed there
has been a failure on the part of politicians,
rehabilitation and labor placement they have
failed in achieving this. The few successful
examples are irrelevant compared to the immense
population who has been excluded. Let us remember
"The Hour of the Equality in the Work (ILO -
2003), worldwide there is an 80 unemployment
rate among disabled people who are available to
work, this percentage is ever greater in
developing countries. This is not acceptable
because employment is par excellence a vehicle of
social inclusion... For that reason, let us take
the initiative in 2008 to start the First World
Campaign for the Employment of People with
disability which also marks 25 years since the
ILOs Agreement 159. which although has had its
merits we must evaluate its limits and
possibilities along with those of the ILOs
Agreement on The Professional Re-adaptation and
The Employment Of disabled people. The First
World Campaign for the Employment of Disables
People will establish lines and tactics for
action as well as concrete goals for employment
generation for people with disabilities.
Alliance for Democrary without Exclusion
Inequality and social exclusion are not
naturally occurring situations, they are a
product of exercise of power from the dominant
sectors of society. participation, knowledge and
to prepare people with disabilities to
participate in the democratic process along with
other vulnerable sectors of society. Equity and
participation are not a reality for many people
with disabilities. Thus, the only way that we
will be able to have access to healthcare,
education and employment is if we make our voices
heard in the political arena, make our opinions
and abilities known and in turn reclaim our
power, have influence and make an impression. To
achieve this I propose an Alliance for Democracy
without Exclusion, to promote political
There is No Inclusion without Equality...
