“Disability” has always been present. It can be said, thus, that its history is interwoven with the history of humanity itself. In the first societies, disabled people were described as human persons who deserved to be abandoned to their fate, because they “obstructed” the development of the activities in a community. There are also accounts according to which a disabled person was considered a monster (a deformity, an aberration) of nature as a result of divine punishment. In the Middle Ages, this social rejection gave rise to welfarism, one more oriented towards pity (compassion) than to social inclusion. Nowadays, it seems that we are experiencing a different moment: it is wanted that disabled people enjoy fully guaranteed fundamental rights, many of them included in different laws and constitutions, as it happens in Brazil. The World Health Organization estimates that, in the world, more than 700 million people who are 15 years old or older live with some kind of disability. According to the last Demographic Census carried out in Brazil, the country’s disabled population is 46 million. The intention of this work is, taking into account constitutional texts and brazilian infra-constitutional norms, to present important legal and social achievements gained by this minority during the last years, as well as to recommend some actions found in comparative law.

It can be said, thus, that its history is interwoven with the history of humanity itself. In the first societies, disabled people were described as human persons who deserved to be abandoned to their fate, because they “obstructed” the development of the activities in a community. There are also accounts according to which a disabled person was considered a monster (a deformity, an aberration) of nature as a result of divine punishment. In the Middle Ages, this social rejection gave rise to welfarism, one more oriented towards pity (compassion) than to social inclusion. Nowadays, it seems that we are experiencing a different moment: it is wanted that disabled people enjoy fully guaranteed fundamental rights, many of them included in different laws and constitutions, as it happens in Brazil. The World Health Organization estimates that, in the world, more than 700 million people who are 15 years old or older live with some kind of disability. According to the last Demographic Census carried out in Brazil, the country’s disabled population is 46 million. The intention of this work is, taking into account constitutional texts and brazilian infra-constitutional norms, to present important legal and social achievements gained by this minority during the last years, as well as to recommend some actions found in comparative law.La “discapacidad” está presente todas las épocas, no está demás decir, en este sentido que su historia se confunde con la historia misma de la humanidad. En las primeras sociedades, se describe a la persona con discapacidad como alguien que merece ser abandonado a su suerte, porque “obstaculiza” el desarrollo de las actividades de la comunidad. También existen relatos de que era considerada un monstruo (deformidad, aberración) de la naturaleza, resultado del castigo divino. En la Edad Media, ese rechazo social da lugar al asistencialismo, relacionado más al sentimiento de lastima (compasión) que al de inclusión social. Actualmente, se vive, al parecer otro momento: se desea que las personas con discapacidad tengan asegurados plenamente, sus derechos fundamentales muchos de ellos vigentes en legislaciones dispersas y en las constituciones como es el caso de Brasil. La Organización Mundial de la Salud estima que en el mundo, más de 700 millones de personas con quince años o más convivan con alguna deficiencia. En Brasil, sao casi cuarenta y seis millones de personas según el último Censo Demográfico realizado en el país. Se propone abordar en este artículo, a la luz de los textos constitucionales y de las normas infra constitucionales brasileñas, importantes logros jurídico-sociales obtenidos por esta minoría en los últimos años y también recomendar algunas acciones encontradas en el derecho comparado.  2016text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6610303(Revista) ISSN 1909-5759Revista Via Iuris, ISSN 1909-5759, Nº. 20, 2016, pags. 29-50spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
