We join today to the "Blog Action Day 2009" which is an annual event that unites the world's bloggers to talk about the same problem on the same day on their blogs with the aim of provoking discussion on a topic of global importance . Blog Action Day 2009 event will be the biggest social change that has been done so far on the Web. A single day, a single subject. Thousands of voices.
For this reason we decided to publish a text on climate change and its impact on disability in our blog.
First International Meeting of Women with Disabilities .- ACLIFIM, Cuba
Climate change and women with disabilities
authors. MsC Susana Sandra Oliver Juárez. Mexico
The environment and climate change have a disability in relation either to worsen the living conditions and survival to those who already have a disability or disability resulting in people survivors.
The WHO says climate change impacts on health are adverse. By 2000 climate change was responsible for 2.4% of cases of diarrhea worldwide. (Resource guide on gender and climate change of UNDP Mexico p.14). Turn causes diarrhea in some cases blindness and affects more sensitive to expectant mothers.
Meanwhile according to the IUCN (World Conservation Union) "women are less likely to have access to information on help than men. In Bangladesh, women were more affected by the cyclone and flood of 1991. "
With respect to the misnamed "natural" disasters disabled people are vulnerable, including women and girls with disabilities as they are not prepared to know what to do, and some of them fail to grasp the scope the disaster, are invisible in the community, there is an absence of social interaction and communication with them and this complicates the event.
What is the role of women with disabilities? How they can make their own health services are organized rather than disorganized versus "natural" disasters? Will their role merely to "assess the accessibility of shelters? Or could have a much more proactive management, global custody and arbitration at the level of indigenous peoples?
