Abstract

Este documento estudia la evolución de la política en discapacidad en Colombia desde el año 1980 hasta el año 2002 basándose en leyes y regulaciones nacionales. El estudio evalúa la legislación a través del Marco Comparativo de la Política de Discapacidad propuesto por Silverstein (2000) para determinar si las leyes colombianas promueven y aplican una política nacional integrada en favor de las personas con discapacidades. El documento también considera el grado en el cual las políticas y los programas generales y específicos de discapacidad en Colombia reflejan el nuevo paradigma de discapacidad y las metas de la política en discapacidad (igualdad en oportunidades, participación completa, vida independiente y autosuficiencia económica). La legislación en Colombia satisface solamente algunas de las metas de la política de discapacidad. La mayoría de estos estatutos reconocen únicamente los derechos civiles para la gente discapacitada, pero no especifican las acciones y los mecanismos necesarios para poner en práctica estos derechos. Se requiere una mayor participación de la comunidad discapacitada en la defensa de sus derechos para mejorar el diseño y la implementación de una política social adecuada, así como para desafiar las actitudes frente al fenómeno de la discapacidad en favor de una integración significativa de esta comunidad en la sociedad en general.
