El derecho a la accesibilidad de las personas con discapacidad

This article analyzes the regulations and policy framework and case law related to accessibility for disabled people, in order to recognize and identify the progress that has been generated, to ensure compliance of the basic rights of this population, and to improve their social inclusion and their ability to participate freely and openly in the different spaces, services and opportunities offered in the public and private level. At the time, the article presents a review of literature on key concepts, such as disability, accessibility, barriers, universal design and reasonable adjustment. In particular, the legal components of the issue in Colombia are discussed, in the light of the conceptual contributions, offering a theoretical and normative study to understand the current scenario of accessibility policies, recognizing the importance of the constitutional bloc as a way to adopt international standards; and the difficulties that people with disabilities face day after day, due to barriers that are part of the infrastructure and architecture of space. The main finding of the paper is that, although there is solid regulation about accessibility in Colombia, in practice there are still many elements that limit the mobility of disabled people, so there is a discontinuity between the law san the reality.-- Grupo de Investigación: Derecho, Cultura y Ciudad.-- Línea de Investigación: derechos humanos.-- Área: derecho Público.-- Tema: derecho a la accesibilidad de las personas con discapacidad
