Специальный доклад- Уполномоченного по правам человека в Томской области
К Уполномоченному по правам человека в Томской области жители региона обращаются по сам...м разным вопросам, но чаще всего содействие правозащитника бывает нужно при решении трудовых и жилищных проблем, также беспокойство у людей вызывают качество и доступность медицинской помощи, недостаточная безопасность среды обитания, трудности с получением бесплатной юридической помощи. О своих проблемах омбудсмену пишут пенсионеры, одинокие матери, лица из числа детей-сирот, люди с ограниченными возможностями здоровья. Регулярно корреспонденция поступает от отбывающих наказание в виде лишения свободы. В общей массе обращений писем от граждан, страдающих психическими расстройствами, немного. Но они есть, и информация о нарушенных правах таких лиц неоднократно находила свое подтверждение.

The report provides statistical evidence relating to the prevalence of dis...ability and characteristics of persons with disabilities at both individual and household levels. Two methods were used to profile disability prevalence and patterns based on the six functional domains, namely seeing, hearing, communication, remembering/concentrating, walking and self-care.

Children with disabilities encounter more violence in their lives than their peers without disability. Organisations involved in Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) come across many cases of violen...ce against the children they work with. Many organisations have no policy on child protection since it is not within the scope of their expertise. Others work with child protection policies that are hard to apply in the realities they deal with. Through research done in Ethiopia, with a recent update, the author attempts to show that there is a need for policies in CBR, that follow a community approach rather than an individual approach to child protection.
