Portugal became the fourth country in the world to officially promote web accessibility for people with disabilities, after the United States, Australia and Canada.

On July 29, 1999 the Portuguese Government, through its Council of Ministers, approved a resolution making mandatory the adoption of accessibility features for people with disabilities in the Web design of the information made available by the General Directorates and similar agencies, departments or services, as well as that rendered available by any public corporation (State Corporations, State Universities, etc.).

I Sverige har vi gärna velat se oss som föregångare på handikappolitikens område. Men fortfarande köper kollektivtrafikföretag in bussar som rullstolsburna inte kan ta sig ombord på. Drygt hälften av landets grundskolor är svårtillgängliga för rörelsehindrade. Fortfarande förbises tillgängligheten vid nybyggnader. Många funktionshindrade tvingas kämpa för rätten till personlig assistent.

ABSTRACT

This paper presents data about the demographics of disabled seniors in Canada and the range of economic, social, and environmental barriers which they confront. Issues are highlighted connected with the independent living paradigm, marginalization, and the multiple social problems of being elderly, disabled, female, and/or a member of a visible minority. The author then describes the implications for future action research, theory development, policy formulation, and social change.

IL rörelsen: en kort bakgrund

"IL rörelsen fick sin början på sent 60-tal, rörelsen förespråkade en filosofi som byggde på konsumism, oberoende, kamratstöd (peer counseling), medborgarrätt, arbete för sina rättigheter (self-advocacy) och ökad livskvalitet för personer med funktionsnedsättning. IL program utvecklades för att ge tjänster åt personer med omfattande funktionsnedsättning som var missnöjda med den reguljära medicinska rehabiliteringsvården. IL programmens filosofi innehåller bland annat konsumentmakt, kamratstöd, arbete för gruppens rättigheter (advocacy) och eliminering av miljömässiga, fysiska och sociala hinder i samhället."
