Abstract:
This work is motivated by the difficulty of inclusion of people with disabilities in the
society, because for such inclusion to exist it is required that the social rights of these
individuals are respected, allowing them to fully and freely exercise their citizenship.
Noteworthy, it occurs that the human dignity of disabled people is unexceptionally
disrespected, which limits the realization of their rights. However, there are initiatives
that seek to include disabled people and respect their rights through public policies
which, for example, promote accessibility. The usual disrespect for the rights of
citizens with disabilities motivated this research which aims to discuss the issue of
accessibility, human rights and the implementation of such rights through public
policies with regards to this particular social group. Considering this scenario, the
extension of public policies in order to fulfill the rights of disabled people, provided for
in the Federal Constitution of 1988, is questioned. In order to investigate this
problem, an exclusively bibliographical study was carried out, considering the main
scholars and lecturers of the subject, as well as the legislation itself. It was concluded
that there is a need to broaden public policies and restructure those already in place
for disabled people, in order to protect their rights, enabling their free and full
exercise of citizenship and access to dignity.
