The Movement defends the rights of people with disabilities. It promtes inclusion in education, work, health, and culture, so everyone can have the same opportunities. The goal is to create a society where all people are accepted and valued.
¿What is the movement?
The movement also works to remove barriers — physical, social, and attitude barriers — that limit participation. It is based on equality, respect, and human dignity. The idea is that everyone deserves to live with freedom and independence.
History

Bad words.
In the past, people used to say “handicapped” or “invalid” to talk about a person with a disability.Today, these words should not be used.They make the person sound less important.
Now we say “person with a disability” — this is respectful because it puts the person first, not the disability.
