Cristina Cortez: La Valiente Historia de una Guerrera que Venció Todo Pronóstico Esta Noche Mariasela es un programa de Entretenimiento que se transmite por Color Visión de Lunes a Viernes a las 8:00pm, bajo la conducción de Mariasela Álv...

Guía básica sobre el uso del lenguaje adecuado para aplicar en cartas, presentaciones, redes sociales y conversaciones:

✅ Lenguaje recomendado (centrado en la persona):
Persona con discapacidad
Persona que vive con parálisis cerebral / autismo / síndrome de Down
Persona usuaria de silla de ruedas
Persona con movilidad reducida
Persona con deficiencia visual / auditiva
Persona con una condición del neurodesarrollo
Persona con discapacidad intelectual
Persona con necesidades de apoyo

Usar un lenguaje correcto y respetuoso al hablar sobre discapacidad es fundamental para promover la inclusión, la dignidad y el empoderamiento de las personas con discapacidad.

La Convención Internacional por los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad de Naciones Unidas (ONU) dispuso que el término adecuado para referirse a este grupo de la población sea Personas con Discapacidad (PCD). Por tanto, su utilización se considera el único correcto a nivel mundial.

Felicidades Deury Lara y Ely Pérez por el premio recibido en el III Premio Regional de Poesía y Cuento en el IV Festival Literario Sur

“No es nuestra discapacidad la que nos limita es la sociedad” te invito a ver este video y descubrir cómo Cristina Cortez desarrolla esta idea.
