People with disabilities denounced the multiple barriers they face daily in Mexico City during the start of the deliberative stage of the consultation on the care system, carried out by the capital’s Congress with the participation of organizations of priority attention groups.
The first meeting, attended by approximately 70 people, addressed structural difficulties related to mobility and accessibility, as well as deficiencies in urban infrastructure that limit their autonomy and exercise of rights. Participants also highlighted the lack of adequate support for neurodivergent individuals and persistent discrimination in educational and employment settings.
The participants emphasized that these conditions reflect a systematic exclusion that has not been addressed comprehensively by public policies, and therefore demanded that their proposals be considered in the construction of the care system and not remain only as consultative inputs.
For their part, legislators indicated that the law will seek to lay the groundwork for progressively advancing the guarantee of this right, with the provision to expand the budget and develop the system in the long term, while dialogue sessions and the process towards the consultative stage continue.
