Some Words

Although the accessibility is a mess- completely involved in the delay this communitarian country finds it self - I think that, currently, the accessibility to buildings of recent construction is being considered.
Also it is not less truth that some laws to safeguard these rights already exist; the famous inserted norms of accessibility in the Decree of Law 123/97.
Obviously, to subsist no discriminated people in the society due to the lack of accessibility.
But in the mist of all of this we have to ask a question:

What do we mean with accessibility?

"The easiness We reach one definitive place."
An area with increased accessibility possesss, normally, a net of transports developed and is characterized for a central localization or, at least,to ebe placed in the center of a way.

Due to the requirements in the circulation of consumers and raw materials, many economical activities, as the selling of the remnant, the commerce and the industry, require localization with excellent accessibility... etc. "in Dictionary of the InterNet."

We have to start with reasoning above related, to be able to take off our conclusions and to improve something in the benefit of those who need accessibility.
Therefore, the people with special necessities, mainly because the difficulties feel more, so they must alert for the many places where the accessibility is forgotten. The example of older buildings, ramps badly made, garbage containers badly placed, can be given.
Why not write letters for the competent entities! City councils, Deficient Institutions.
To make surveys of the inaccessible places, Accessibility Projects, sites. It's just using our intelligence and stop being lazy.
It urges to take attitudes, to agitate people and to make somebody responsible (will it be the case), to create alert movements able them, to speak of accessibility. Because when speaking of accessibility we strengthen our struggle, it's very important that our cause becomes a national concern.
We have, we can and we must make our own revolution, because we do not want to be the forgotten ones.
And all joined we will achieve our objectives. I've always heard that the union makes the strength
