Construindo a cidadania: uma análise introdutória sobre o direito à diferença

Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the history of social movements in Brazil, especially the political trajectory of the Movement for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. I chose to work on the issue of people with disabilities from their social organization aspect and chose to treat it from the perspective of the political movement because not all disabled people in Brazil are or are happy with the way society and the rulers deal with it. most often, they are targets of charity, piety or victims of prejudice. In the first chapter, I take a look at the historical moment of the - beginning of the eighties, going back to the period of the last quarter of the seventies, especially when the new social movements, their organization for the right to want rights, arose. In the second chapter, I establish the counterpoint between the writings about Social Movements and the performance of the Movement of people with disabilities, inserting it in the academic discussion as part of social movements, showing the importance of this segment that represents at least 10%. of the country's population and must be properly recorded in history as an organized social movement that has proposals and fights for its goals. In the third chapter, I try to make an analysis of the results obtained in the struggles by the Constituent Assembly, the laws that came into existence and that give these people the condition of equality before all other citizens of the country and contrast with the reality of people in cities today. Realizing in experiences, lack of essential services, architectural, environmental and social barriers, lack of respect for the right to special and inclusive education, health, orthosis and prosthesis programs, the true face of citizenship in Brazil in relation to “Disabled”.
