Social Service, people with disabilities and Human Rights

Abstract

This article depicts the research in progress that addresses the political movement in defense of people with disabilities and the fight against the attacks on their rights acquired in the past three decades. Social Service must reflect on the consequences of social issues in the lives of people with disabilities. We intend to demonstrate that, despite the progress made in the legal framework of people with disabilities in Brazil, strategies of access to such rights are often achieved through legal procedures. The promotion of accessible public policies and the development of a social education that considers diversity as part of the human condition are vital for the inclusion of people with disabilities in the framework of human rights.
