Nuning: Government must pay more attention to disabilities people

My name is Nuning Suryatingsih

I'm from CIQAL

I am ordered by friends

To be chairman there

So far we have

Two big programs

That is for economic empowerment

And advocacy

Economic empowerment so far

we have already done it

Besides vocational training

We have cooperated with

Some companies

Both for the private sector and for the government

Where are the labor requirements

We try to prepare

the workers

Well, for advocacy

There are several policies that we have pushed

Policies for protection and fulfillment

Rights of persons with disabilities

In DIY (Yogyakarta), there are 4 regencies in existence

And that is not only the city of Yogyakarta

All this time we did

Because it turns out the legal umbrella for policy

people with disabilities

Very needed

Because without a legal law

Implementation or what has been

It's in Jogja that can't meet

One of them is about physical accessibility

And non-physical accessibility

It's not owned by everyone

Especially policy holders

Physical accessibility for example

So far, infrastructure in Yogyakarta

not friendly to people with disabilities

So that only certain places

where can be visited

So they can't travel yet to the tourism places

Especially the beach

That is not access at all

for people with disabilities

then the non-physical accessibility

What we received from policy holders so far

not full yet

its mean not yet able to accept

people with disabilities are what they are

Because there are still some

Discrimination that exists

Then policies

Except to policies for people with disabilities

Other policies are also not yet pro

Against people with disabilities

So now we continue to do

Or push from the government

Both executive and legislative

Where are people with disabilities

Must have to get full attention

Because as in the jargon of the SDGs

"No one left behind"

To ensure

No one is left behind

So we are pushing it

so then, be in Yogyakarta Special Region

We as people with disabilities

Disability community in Yogyakarta

There are around 40-50 thousand

So, it's not a small thing for us

Community of people with disabilities

But we also deserve our rights

Equal rights

To achieve or transfer anything

What's here

Therefore

We are very begging

To the society

Especially the government too

Give us a space

To be able to participate

We are a group of people with disabilities

All this time

Actually it's not underprivileged

Because we are a small community

Compared to other residents (normal people)

Thats make our voice being unheard

and when we will do networking

with other parties

Its not sure that they

also have same perspective

and not sensitive yet to us

So sometimes when

We want to build networking

Especially with the media

Both print and electronic media

Who has not had a perspective

So we still have difficulties

As if we were

Still considered an object, not a subject

That is, we can only be seen

Not seen from ability

Or the potential that we have so far

Then the matter of demanding rights

Actually we don't demand

But we asked for it

Where are our rights that

Not given to us

Actually, by joining together

We want there

Merger of several

Existing stakeholders

This is also true for all reinforcement

Especially us vulnerable groups

Those who have not yet gained access

From the government

Therefore, unitedly

by grouping into this one goal

What we really hope to strengt

The capacity we have not yet had
