“For many adults with disabilities learn to the violation of their human rights should be seen as a normal part of their daily lives,” can be read in the Joint Committee on Human Rights, in a report published in Earlier this month - the author.

This is a powerful reminder and shocking the lack of priority, people with a learning disability in our society.

Once the evidence oral and written over the course of several months, the authorities found JCHR how NHS trusts, the violation of human rights of adults with disabilities in learning of an alarming number of areas . The report describes in detail the most productive and abuse of the rights of periodicals and indifference with which these inequalities are often fulfilled.

The lack of public outcry and media attention that if the report was published, was shocking. In contrast, a similar report on human rights in the care of the elderly, has published during the past year, extensive coverage in the media. Unfortunately, this reaction, or lack thereof, that is to say all the reactions of government on people with a learning disability - men, the report said, “dehumanizes” by negative attitudes and stereotypes that above them. It is this attitude and the actions that result in the clearest in the JCHRs alarming findings.

JCHR The report relies heavily on Mencap’s Death report indifference, tells the story of six people with a disability, the unnecessary deaths of the study in the custody of the NHS. In one case, Martin, 43, went to the hospital, had a stroke. Once at the hospital, it was not enough for 26 days - he died shortly after his sub-body is not in a position to the operation needed to save his life.

In the wake of the death of indifference, then Secretary of State for Health, Patricia Hewitt, has an independent inquiry into equal access to health services for people with disabilities ” learning. The results, which have been published this summer, and are widely expected, outlines the need for a change in mindset among health professionals staff.

Of course, health is an area in which the human rights of people with a learning disability are systematically violated. The report also highlights problems with the law, employment, housing and social services for people with learning disabilities.

It lies in the social life and care, that the gap between policy and practice, it is clearly perceptible. The guidelines contained in the valuation of men and monitor them, the consultation paper, Valuing People Now, have been widely appreciated. However, the JCHR request that the final version of “explicitly to a” human rights-based approach “. But the real challenge lies in the translation of this policy into practice. In his evidence of the JCHR, a clinical psychologist at NHS Learning Disability Services in the committee said, “Valuing People was full of excellent recommendations, many of whom either lip, or were completely ignored. It is a feeling that it was one of the professional rhetoric, without legislation, to ensure that its recommendations into practice. There is still a huge gap between what was and what is happening actually recommended. ”

But negative attitudes are certainly not the only scapegoat for the implementation of authentication. The report notes JCHR - “limited resources should be attempting to undermine the implementation of the objectives of the [Valuing People] effective.” As Andrew Lee, executive director of People First, said: “If the government is serious about the cessation of human rights violations against people with learning difficulties, then it is simply cost money. And if society decides not big enough for people with learning difficulties, to D money for us, then that society is a society where people are left marginalized and abused in our midst. ”

All across the country to a lack of funding and strengthening of criteria led to an increase in the number of tips for the delivery of services in the deepest needs. Moderate needs of man are ausgequetscht system, which take charge of essential services, as a day of the interview and representation, muted. Both a devastating effect on people’s lives, reductions in the services sector are also a false economy and threaten the government of prevention on the agenda.

For it is only this month, the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) has been criticized, Birmingham City Council, because it is regarded as an adequate transfer services for the deaf, a young woman with learning difficulties , whose health needs and social services have remained unsupported. Trafford At the same time, the Council refuses to pay £ 100000 of the claim relating to a LGO not similar, while increasingly licked and CSCI report in the services sector in Cornwall, the Council condemned providing services to people with a learning disability.

JCHR The report contains a series of practical recommendations, as the sheet, and prevent further violations of human rights. It called on the government to actively engage in order to ensure full implementation of the Human Rights Act and the Disability Discrimination Act and equality for the disabled, the law on Duty. The JCHR insufficient pressure on the government, as a source of legislation as “not enough to understand and implement” on our toes.

The JCHR which is an obligation of public authorities specifically to the promotion of human rights and for the government to do, which is characterized by the holding of practical advice. This new policy should also ensure that funding decisions, in accordance with the Human Rights Act and equality for the disabled of the law so that the Duty moderate learning disabilities receive the support they need.

The rest JCHR recommends that all medical and social services, the operators as public authorities for the purposes of the Human Rights Act. The government has already promised to close the loop-hole law, ie the moment that residents in the private sector, health centres are not covered by the law , even if their leadership is encouraged by the government. We hope that the Government will introduce an amendment to achieve, in the Health and Social Care Bill, currently in Parliament.

As CEO of Mencap, a charity, the rights of persons with a learning disability, I am grateful for the excellent work that Andrew Dismore and his team at the JCHR have done, to investigate and the awareness of these issues in Parliament. To get more objective, independent Instead of talking about these issues, the government should stop and think about how their services affect the lives and rights of people with a learning disability.

How the government responds to the report said. We want real leadership qualities, both in the Department of Health and other departments in this regard - the confirmation of current setbacks, the real intent of the reports, correct and decisive, before social care for adults Green Paper from the end of the year, that the acceptance of the current lack of financial resources for adults is at the heart of this widespread violation of human rights, and is something that can not be ignored .

The facts were exposed, the shocking truth made public - the ball is in the government. I sincerely hope they provide.

Although Israeli officials that can reach seven existing Bedouin, the government planned cities, towns or newly recognized, HRW argues that the measures taken by the government of the proposed communities from Israel seven of the eight poorest communes and poorly equipped, in order to prevent any influx of residents.

In addition, the report said that most of the Bedouin, contrary to move to the townships.

HRW calls on a government commission that recently, the review of agriculture Ownership dispute between the state and the Bedouin in the Negev, their knowledge about “Israel’s international obligations in the field of human rights and the prohibition of discrimination, the right to an adequate security and safe accommodation and protection of forced evictions. ”

The organization he said interviewed dozens of Bedouin, as well as diapers, community organizations, academics and lawyers. HRW has detailed a letter to the Israeli Government for the year 2007 and said it include relevant information from the response from the Department of Justice in the report.

I said that in my previous life, I was a multitasker effortlessly, a fast-speakers and a thinker faster. I was speaking engagement across the country and in the speeches of my most powerful in planes and taxis. In my previous life, I was Rabbi Lynne Landsberg. And even though I am still Rabbi Lynne Landsberg, the rest has changed.

In 1999, I sustained traumatic injury of the brain, if my SUV slid on a patch of ice and wrapped around a tree.

When I woke up slowly from a six-week coma, I was not able to forget that people must live. With years of intense rehabilitation, umgelernt like me to walk, talk, focus, and more. Now, I walk with a cane stick, speak slowly and with the help of small tasks.

Before my brain injury, I was part of a minority, the strong and articulate of the American Jewish Community. Well, I am part of a minority, and the second time a day victims of discrimination still powerless just to be heard and people with disabilities.

I began to identify with the second largest minority, if I have a year in a wheelchair.

In restaurants, servers increasingly asked my husband what I wanted to place an order, wrongly, that I could not read the menu or decisions for me. Even now, when I am in a meeting, social situations and companies with a cane stick, people are often ignored me. I shudder to think what the job interviews should be the same as for other people with disabilities.

Even with the curriculum vitae show that they are qualified for the job, they must convince employers that the malaise is due to their disability is not an obstacle work ethic.

Unfortunately, thousands of Americans unacceptable acts against disability in the context of discrimination in the workplace every day.

Two thirds of unemployed people with disabilities want to work but can not find work. What is serious, 97 percent of the time, the courts will decide, employees, the challenge of fighting discrimination in the workplace, there is often, he has a chance to prove that discrimination has taken place.

With the election for the District 5 representatives to Dane County Board of Supervisors Tuesday, Ashok Kumar, the position of the last two years, said he would be in action.

“I think the ability to push-politics is something that I will miss,” said Kumar. “It’s really hard to navigate through the system, if you have 21, but it was also useful, a great choice among young people. ”

Kumar said he believes in his time, the Office has been effective, but he wants to return to his first love, which in his commune. “I would prefer my energy to the organization of communities, rather than legislation. I will put my energy that I worked for years before I took office,” he said.

Before Kumar was elected representative on the Board of Supervisors, he helped to organize working groups on subjects such as anti-war activists in the fight against the consumption of drugs in the community. Paul Rusk, 12 district councillor and chairman of the Public and justice, Kumar said, he worked with many successful projects.

“We have significantly improved the treatment of mental health in the Dane County Jail,” said Rusk. “We have cameras in the prison, for the safer for employees and to prevent the suicides of prisoners.” A Rusk Kumar said it is, to develop programs to prevent offenders from prison by other types of treatment.

After Rusk, the new Dane County Court House previously enjoyed no place for the implementation of the child. But that changed with the help of Kumar.

Rusk said he is interested to see what will be the choice. “I do not think that the age factor should enter. They need someone who has caught the attention to detail, and students can view on how to make the best use,” said Rusk.

“You can take all are of the opinion that the students and their vision.” David Worzala, 10 district councillor, said Kumar is highly energetic, passionate and well-organized.

Worzala worked with Kumar on issues related to the office of sheriff, and said he is the best memory Kumar for his work on affordable housing for low-income occupants in search of profit and the elimination of prisoners.

Kumar stressed affordable housing and greed for profit of two of the most important things he has, during the Office.

He helped end of the housing discrimination against low-income families and houses more affordable. According to Kumar a press release announcing the decision not to run for re-election at the disposal, the regulation has more than doubled, housing opportunities for low-income families.

Kumar has also written two regulations, the thirst for profit ending in prison. The regulations represent a high cost for phone calls and laundry service for prisoners, as well as many other services. Kumar said he wants to see the progression of the increase in his term of office is over.

“I hope I did that [Progress] to a new layer, and I hope whoever takes to do the same here,” said Kumar.

The Group of Human Rights declared that Israel’s policy “of forcing tens of thousands of Bedouins in southern Israel to live in a ‘unknown’ slums, where they are under a constant threat of having their demolished houses and their communities.

The 95-page report is based on interviews, unknown in 13 Bedouin villages, and three cities in the state of Bedouin in the Negev.

“The Israeli policy, the Bedouin to a situation without losing,” said Joe Stork, director for the Middle East at Human Rights Watch. “The state has forced the country to the way in which their own illegal and misery in neighbourhoods, truncated by Des daily needs such as water and electricity.”

New housing - only for the Jews

According to HRW, Israel has demolished thousands of houses Negev Bedouin since the 1970, 2007 and hundreds alone. Chen Israeli officials say they are simply the application of zoning and construction, but the group says he found that officials systematically demolish houses of Bedouin “, and mostly illegal for the construction or legalise Post-Jewish citizens. ”

The report is then stated that while the Bedouin to undergo acute need of adequate housing and new communities, the state is the development of new housing for citizens and Jewish communities, although some of more than 100 existing Jewish communities in the Negev Assis half empty.

“Israel is ready and able, new Negev towns for Jewish Israelis, a rural lifestyle, but not for the people who lived and worked for generations in this country,” said Stork. “This is grossly unfair.

“Independent Investigation Agency ‘

Today, the Bedouin community comprises 25% of the population of northern Negev, but controls less than 2% of the country’s land.

In his report, the organization has requested a specific ministry Housing Commission recently to review the issue of agriculture disputes “their recommendations on Israel’s international obligations in the field of human rights and the prohibition of discrimination in respect of the rights guaranteed to adequate and secure housing and protection ago forced evictions.

A recommendation should be a specific role for conducting a thorough and impartial investigation on the problem of unknown villages, “said Stork.” Because the state itself is responsible for this systematic discrimination and denial of fundamental rights , a body independent inquiry is needed. “
