How to be ‘inclusive’?

Monthian Bhuntan, 2014. 6th AMCDRR pre-conference presentation

Things to know:
• 15-20% world population are persons with disabilities (WHO, 2011)

• 650 million persons with disabilities in Asia-Pacific (UNESCAP, 2012)

• 78% persons with disability have not engaged in any DRR activities in
Indonesia (ASB, 2014)

• UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Article 11

• Incheon Strategy to ‘Make the Right Real’, Asia-Pacific: Goal 7

Tips and etiquette:
1. Language is important- it should be dignified.
2. When addressing a person with disabilities speak directly to that person
i.e. not the carer or sign interpreter.
3. Don’t touch someone’s assistive device (e.g. wheelchair, cane) without
permission. It’s part of that person’s personal space.
4. Training and workshop spaces: Choose accessible venues and include a
short safety (e.g. fire, earthquake) brief at the beginning of your session.
5. Evacuation 1: Never separate a person from their assistive device.
6. Evacuation 2: Take care moving people with a physical disability.
