The 6th Conference of the Latin American Network of Non-Governmental Organizations of Persons with Disabilities and their Families (RIADIS) is discussing today the rights of these people in the region and the world.
The meeting, taking place at the Conference Center in this capital, aims to promote inclusive policies in the countries of the area, articulating strategic actions between the Network and the governments.
It also focuses on promoting gender equity and policies for the benefit of youth and people in indigenous communities with physical or mental disabilities, organizers say.

The empowerment and leadership of men and women in this condition should be promoted, so they can fight for social equality, she said.
