Hi Stephanie, I'm from South Wales I am on the Board of CVCDP - CARDIFF and VALE COALITION OF DISABLED PEOPLE also a Trustee for CARIDIFF AND VALE COALITION OF DISABLED PEOPLE PROJECTS LTD The CVCDP are an organisation founded, run and controlled by disabled people who promote equality, support the full rights for, and inclusion of, all disabled people in the community, and work to empower disabled people to be in control of their own lives. This is part of the Social Model of Disability that the Coalition is founded upon. Equality means that people are given equal opportunities in relation to access to education, employment and different services. Equality does not mean putting someone into a better position. On the contrary, concept of equality includes same opportunities to eeryone regardless of their citizenship, ethnic origin, sexual identity, age, gender, disability in the uk the organization I represent stand on these values ,and most of the UK I hope. Yes the world is really disabled I believe not necassarily the people living in it.As for other countries I can't really speak.

Peace and Happiness


Paul
