Conclusions

Throughout this document, have compiled the results obtained as a result of joint work between various actors.

On the one hand, we have collected personal stories of people with disabilities in our country and compiled under a systematic scientific method that can be contrasted public policies, laws and social skills that the community expressed through the mass media.

The main objective of this work is to buy what at first governmental and other stakeholders express about the quality of life of people with disabilities and what actually happens.

In this final section is intended to capture some of the most highlighted results and explore some recommendations to further improve the quality of life of people with disabilities.

In relation to matters relating to social participation, clearly we obtain a minimum percentage of respondents highlighting that there are social sharing options based on equality of opportunity. This contrasts sharply with the principles and provisions set out in the laws and public policy which is stated explicitly mandatory to guarantee social participation of people with disabilities. When analyzing the results provided in the area of social skills through the study of media, there is view of an approach where the disabled person is identified as the passive recipients of charitable actions and obligations arising from the rights themselves humans.

A review from a dynamic range, social participation of people with disabilities continues even under the charity model cooperation from all sides not to increase the role of people with disabilities as full social actors.

In this sense, it is recommended to execute actions involving people with disabilities in areas related to social participation. Activities such choices accessible, accessible public information and access to functions of the state's role as health, education, culture, among others, should be quickly implemented.

In the field of health and education, respondents clearly show a trend that marks the zero availability of access to education or health services. From the interviews it appears that in those few cases where access actually occurs is the result of personal effort or particular factors such activities without being the result of a framework of law and its enforcement.

If you notice, regardless of social status, disability, all participants have shown a direct or indirect violation of access to education or health services. Worsen for women or people living in rural or unfavorable.

Again, although the rules analyzed account for a compulsory acquired by the central state and its decentralized bodies for access to these critical services. The practice indicates that compliance is often reduced or absolutely nil. In relation to the analysis of social skills, it is clear that the disabled person is still treated as receiving what is possible and what the principles and foundations of human rights explicit. In other words, should settle for what's not thinking precepts as dignity or autonomy.

In the area of communication and access to information, people with disabilities have clearly a restriction on their rights. The media still fail to identify people with disabilities as potential recipients but as passive recipients disenfranchised.

A special section should be given to two crucial factors in our study. For one thing, all rights violated rights or areas when it focused on women were accentuated and almost were taken to the extreme.

This is really distinctive highlight as for women with disabilities in Honduras is almost doubly be discriminated against because they are women and people with disabilities. From personal accounts and analysis of public policy, are seen as even gender specific issues are not addressed and general aspects relate anything about or for women.

Thus, the gender component has been profoundly shown in relation to rights violations.

Another crucial factor is related to the geographical location and its consequences for violations of rights of persons with disabilities. In other words, interviews can highlight that line you live closer to the periphery not only ion which new violations, than generic worsen and become almost constant and permanent.

In conclusion, this study has shown that above all services denied or even outdated policies and focused to a charitable or medical model. The deeper issue is the absence of a rights paradigm. That is still not linked to the disabled person for human rights and passes under the model where only passive recipient of what is provided.

With this report, the Honduran civil society will join the rest of the fabric of organizations fighting for the rights and calving can now interact in various forums with a systematized and above all things tested and endorsed by an effective methodology.

Before our collective questions like disabled people, the answer is usually always the same: In that rely to say what they say. From now we report our experience but objective and evidence-based.
