International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3 December 2011 Theme for 2011: “Together for a better world for all: Including persons with disabilities in development” Introduction Persons with disabilities make up an estimated 10 per cent of the world’s population, eighty per cent of which reside in developing countries. Furthermore, a quarter of the global population is directly affected by disability, as care-givers or family members. Persons with disabilities encounter many disadvantages in their societies and are often subjected to stigma and discrimination. They remain largely marginalized, disproportionately poorer, frequently unemployed and have higher rates of mortality. Furthermore, they are largely excluded from civil and political processes and are overwhelmingly voiceless in matters that affect them and their society. Experience shows that when persons with disabilities are empowered to participate and lead the process of development, their entire community benefits, as their involvement creates opportunities for everyone – with or without a disability. Including persons with disabilities and their communities in developmental efforts is important to advance the development agenda. Thus it is imperative that development efforts around the world include disability issues when determining policies, programmes, as well as allocating funds for developmental programmes and projects. Mainstreaming disability in development is a strategy for achieving equality for persons with disabilities. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which is both a human rights treaty and a development tool, provides an opportunity to strengthen developmental policies related to the implementation of internationally agreed development goals, such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), thereby contributing to the realization of a “society for all” in the twenty-first century. The General Assembly in its most recent resolution 65/186, seeks to convene a High-Level meeting on disability in 2012, with a view to strengthening efforts to ensure the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of development efforts. Commemorating the International Day of persons with disabilities in 2011 This year, the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs requested the input of its partners and the general public for suggestions on a theme for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2011. Many responses were received from both, the UN system and civil society. Now, for the first time, the Day will be commemorated under a general theme with supporting sub-themes to draw attention to key areas that would work in synergy to mainstream disability in all development processes. Based on the main theme of IDPD 2011 “Together for a better world for all: Including persons with disabilities in development”, suggested sub-themes are: - Mainstreaming disability: including a disability perspective in all development processes (more information) - Gender: including women and girls with disabilities in development (more information) - Including children and youth with disabilities in development (more information) - Accessibility: removing barriers and promoting disability-inclusive development (more information) - Promoting data collection and statistics on disability (more information) Include: Observance of the Day provides opportunities for participation by all stakeholders – Governments, the UN system, civil society and organizations of persons with disabilities – to focus on issues related to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in development, both as beneficiaries and agents. Organize: Hold forums, public discussions and information campaigns in support of the themes of IDPD 2011 to find innovative ways and means by which persons with disabilities and their families can be further integrated into the development agenda. Celebrate: Plan and organize performances everywhere to showcase – and celebrate – the contributions made by persons with disabilities as agents of change and development in the communities in which they live. Take Action: A major focus of the Day is practical action to mainstream disability in all aspects of development, as well as to further the participation of persons with disabilities in social life and development on the basis of equality. Highlight progress and obstacles in implementing disability-sensitive policies, as well as promote public awareness of barriers to the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in their societies. Events around the world to commemorate IDPD 2011 You tell us! If you would like to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities in your community and would like to share an innovative idea that includes other stakeholders, such as your Government, a UN agency, an NGO/DPO or a community, please let us know about it. We will showcase the idea on our website to inform and inspire others to do the same. Please send your ideas to enable@un.org. Source : http://www.un.org/disabilities/default.asp?id=1561

Udruga invalida Bjelovar obilježila 3. prosinac, Međunarodni dan osoba s invaliditetom u Hotelu Central gdje se okupilo 200 osoba s invaliditetom. Obilježavanju tog dana uveličali u i uzvanici iz Grada Bjelovara, predstavnici BBŽ, Centra za socijalnu skrb, Hrvatskog zavoda za zapošljavanje i studija sestrinstva. 3.prosinac, Međunarodni dan osoba s invaliditetom promovira se od strane Organizacije Ujedinjenih naroda od 1998. godine. Jedna od temeljnih značajki obilježavanja ovog dana je upozoriti društvo, a osobito odgovorne osobe na prisutnost osoba s invaliditetom kao ravnopravnih članova društva te uputiti na nužnost i potrebu uključivanja invalida u sve dostupne im sadržaje društvenih zbivanja kao pretpostavki normalnog rasta i razvoja u svakom pogledu. Ulaskom Republike Hrvatske u Europsku uniju situacija se, barem na zakonodavnom planu, u izvjesnom smislu poboljšala. Naime, zakonodavac je usvojio određene zakone (Zakon o rehabilitaciji i zapošljavanju osoba s invaliditetom, Zakon o socijalnoj skrbi i dr.) te na temelju njih niz provedbenih propisa kojima je cilj osigurati poboljšanje ukupnih uvjeta života osoba s invaliditetom. Međutim, stvarna životna praksa, nažalost, još uvijek ne prati zakonodavnu, a senzibilizacija društvene svijesti i njeni učinci u smislu faktične životne primjene usvojenih zakonskih normi. Duboko smo svjesni da vlastitim angažmanom možemo dati svoj doprinos poboljšanju života hrvatskog društva. Jer, sva oštećenja kojima su osobe s invaliditetom ograničene uistinu uzimaju mnogo, ali srce i duh daju neizmjerno više.
