Methodology
As it is mentioned previously, this methodology created by the University of York in Canada with the patronage of the Swedish Agency of International Cooperation and a series of experts seeks to realize fundamentally of the existing gap between what the government’s promises and say his procedure or speeches of his leaders and what really happens in area. This project, it tries to contribute an objective look to the tangible and current reality of the population of the persons with disability in Honduras. Likewise, the methodology DRPI for his nature and object emphasizes in the full participation of the persons with disability not only like receptors or addressees if not, as active and key actors in this process.
Be precise of measuring the importance of the methodology and his effective fulfillment in the area, we will say that this scientific method possesses three big areas that are: an individual vision; a systematic vision and a vision from the mass media.
The individual vision is defined as the mechanism for which with the use of opened semi-structured interviews a balanced sample of 100 persons selected by means of technical 'Ball of Snow' they report some personal histories that have happened to him in the last 5 years. These interviews, they try to realize from the personal statement since it is and which are the principal topics and areas where those orientated to the persons are fulfilled or violate the fundamental human rights in general and particularly by disability. Finally, the information compiled of the interviews is registered on the one hand in support audio and transcripts to digital documents of text at the end of being used for his systematizing. After the systematizing using the software called Nvivo that structures the statements on the base of 5 principles gathered by the Convention of the Laws of the Persons with Disability of United Nations. The results that throw this structure serve to realize partial conclusions of how concretely the persons live and experience his rights with disability.
Another analysis that shapes this holistic and integral vision of the present report is the relative one to the public policies and laws as well as governmental programs. For this component, a counterfoil has been designed that being a table of double entry allows to the executors of the methodology to possess a control of which it is the instrument to analyzing and as it adjusts or not to the key elements and principles that must give guarantee of the effective fulfillment of the rights of the persons with disability. Though, the individual statements and the systemic analysis give perfect account of the hard reality that the persons experience with disability; it is an obligation to construct an integral report to observe which are the social attitudes towards the persons with disability and as the society in general it perceives and measures them. In this respect, the mass media are a fundamental piece To understand include like by means of the use of the vocabulary or the imaginary social constructions the community he identifies the persons with disability.
This way clearly there conforms an integral report that can realize of the reality and his concrete experiences in terms of human rights and worthy social incorporation.
For consensus and in such a way that it was possible to realize a diagnosis in the whole national territory of the violation of the rights of the persons with disability the project divided in three regions zone south center orientates the Most important City of Honduras it’s The Capital Tegucigalpa, north zone in the second city most important and called the industrial capital of Honduras San Pedro Sula and one of the region’s the most productive Catacamas Olancho where they were realized in processes of story of the individual experiences of the persons by disability. Of equal form he was nominated a general coordinator of the project and three coordinators of site in each of the regions who watched that the project was carrying out according to the manual of procedures.
It was begun by this project by a week of training for all the participants in the execution of the project in order to provide orientation, training and development of capacities more near the persons with disability in the implementation of a system of integral follow-up of the human rights of the persons with disability in the whole Honduras. Initiating with a number of participants who would be the managers of the process of monitoring of the individual experiences of the persons with disability where there took a sample of 100 persons met at least three individual experiences where they felt disrespect their human rights divided in each of the regions selected for the execution of the project an equipment of clerks of these experiences, an team of investigation and diagnosis of the public policies of the persons with disability to in Honduras and a group of analysis of the means of communication. In the same way as then they select and the persons with disability with that an individual interview was realized in the communities in which they live. Therefore, they were born in mind on having selected the topics of the representation of the persons with disability in relation with the sex, age, type of disability, the education and the labor situation.
The project was based also on the need of that in the project persons must take part with disability. With the accomplishment of this project one collaborated with the members of the persons' organizations with disability and the persons' organizations with disability of three mentioned cities, which took part in this project, and some hundred of persons who indirectly interfered in the project and who also were benefited in an indirect way since they were sensitized for the good treatment and respect for his relatives and you present in general with some degree of disability and all those who collaborated in order that this project and this report was executing.
