DPOs and government paid visit to Uganda where I saw how people with disability actively participating specially the development and policy in the country. They managed to participate national commissions, the parliament and the cabinet. They made lobby for their national rights. But you may do this with laws and knowledge you have with CRPD.

In the CRPD Article 5 free from discriminations, art 6,7 women and children should full rights in the society, article 8,9,10 awareness, accessibility and right life. Art 11,12, and 13 protection of risk, access humanitarian aid, access to justice. article 14 to 23 freedom expression. Liberty and independent life. Art 24 to 30 access basic life the education, health, employment, recreation, public and cultural role. Art 31 to 39 statistic, implementation convention, reporting, establishment committee and monitoring. All 50 articles of the convention are important for the protection PWDs and DPOs. But these articles are key that work best for the improvement of the social, human rights, participation of social, cluster and policy. As well as reporting and implementations.

This an advantage for the university student to gain more skills about the work of the social in the country. the PWDs need enjoyment from and DPOs to work in the advocacy for their rights in family, social and public. The more we learn this articles can support us to engage challenges for the interest of the nationwide disability people. We can create campaign and struggle that can lead more rights in the country.
In the justice we can engage the courts in the local and federal level to make protection for the victim in the society. And eliminate all abuses in the society. Some of you can be ambassadors standing the protection of the personal and group interest. Regardless of the family or clan. Moreover the short people, the Albinism people and the people with multiple disability who have common.
