\n
• In Mexico, there are around 7.1 million people with disabilities, which represents approximately 6% of the total population.<\/strong><\/li>\n
• Including people with disabilities in work and social activities can give them a very good quality of life.<\/strong><\/li>\n
• The inclusion of people with disabilities is to ensure that everyone has the same opportunities to actively participate in society.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, \u201cpersons with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments which, when faced with various barriers, may prevent their full and effective participation in society, on equal terms\u201d.<\/p>\n

  In Mexico, there are around 7.1 million people with disabilities, which represents approximately 6% of the total population.<\/p>\n

  Throughout the history of Mexico, people with disabilities have been frequently excluded from social activities; to date, they lack full recognition of their human rights since many consider that they cannot perform the same activities as the rest of the people.<\/p>\n

  Of every 100 people over the age of 15 with a disability, only 40 participate in economic activities, that is, they have access to employment. A figure significantly lower than that registered for people who do not have limitations or disabilities.<\/p>\n

  However, in recent years, different government agencies have joined efforts to promote policies for the social integration of these people in the country.<\/p>\n

  Disability in the family<\/h2>\n

  Families living with and caring for a person with a disability have both positive and negative impacts. On the positive side, as awareness increases about how to deal with this situation, a sense of closeness and unconditional support can be achieved in the family and community. However, it can also be a source of tension between spouses, parents, and children. Some families are predisposed to divorce due to the psychological and emotional factors that come with a disability.<\/p>\n

  Disability within the health sector<\/h2>\n

  Inclusion allows people with disabilities to take advantage of the benefits of the same health prevention and promotion actions, such as:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • Education and counseling programs that promote physical activity, improve their nutrition, and help reduce tobacco, alcohol, and drug use.<\/li>\n
  • Blood pressure and cholesterol measurement campaigns through annual medical examination, and screening tests for heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Including people with disabilities in day-to-day activities and encouraging them to have similar or equal tasks to those of their peers who do not have a disability, is known as the inclusion of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

    This inclusion allows them to have a full life, study, work, have children, get married, and even build their own assets under their own means.<\/p>\n
