Brazil proposed a plan for the development of assistive technologies and a horizontal approach to developing a systemic perspective on the rights of persons with disabilities. The Government strove to integrate this work with the 2030 Agenda, collaborating with civil society and other States. Nearly 2.6 million people with disabilities received an allowance and improvements had been made in education, availability of technology and technological resources, gender equality, reducing infant mortality and fighting HIV/AIDS and other diseases. 57. The Chair of Indonesian Mental Health Association, Yeni Rosa Damayanti, said that hundreds of thousands of persons with psychosocial disabilities had been imprisoned in social and medical institutions and forced to accept medical treatment. National and local regulations must accord with the Convention. Obstacles to such harmonization included reluctance to view the rights of persons with disabilities as human rights, lack of awareness of the Convention among government officials and inadequate training for advocacy groups. Ms. Damayanti suggested that disability rights should be integrated into wider social movements, including labour, legal aid, farmers’, women’s, environmental, urban and anti-corruption movements, and recognized as a cross-cutting issue to be raised by all sectors of civil society. 58.

In conclusion, Ms. Cavalcante de Freitas Estrela emphasized the role of monitoring committees in furthering local and national realization of rights, and stated that in Brazil, work towards ensuring environmental sustainability had been linked to issues of inclusion of and access for persons with disabilities. Ms. Degener remarked that legal obligations applied equally to all people with respect to both realization of rights and responsibilities. Prevention measures based on the medical model of disability were not in line with the Convention, and persons with disabilities should be engaged as agents for social change.
