lobbyibng

For the equal rights and opportunities of the disabled people and other marginalised groups Lobbying is the essential part of the life to get thinings in favor and to enusre their rights. Everyone we do the lobby either informally or formally. From family level to state level where ever there is something going beyond equally there it needs lobbying to ensure their rights through dialouge and concensus. But before going to settle this it should keep in mind to select the mediator or lobbyst must should be acceptable to all and he/she should have competent on the selected issue and can place in right time to the right place otherwise the whole thing will be null-and void.

Due to lack of right lobbyst in MDG from the disability side what I felt When the Millennium Development Goals were formulated by the United Nations, the member states were looking for minimum standards of the quality of life of poor people. Unfortunately in these millennium goals, people with disabilities are not mentioned at all. This means discrimination from the development process by the UN and its member states. For me it really is a shame to see these thinking process in world leaders, policymakers and peace builders. Where There is a vicious relationship between poverty and disability there in the MDG none mentioned about this issues.Whereas addressing this should have been one of the main tasks of the Millennium Development Goals. No-one’s life should be turned into a disabled one because of poverty, and no-one should become poor anymore because of disability. The millennium goals should be for all, otherwise a whole group of people will be excluded. disability experts or disabled people should be involved in all the steps, so that, in the Millennium Development Goals, special attention can be given to the mainstreaming of disadvantaged groups. Documents like the millennium goals need be judged or checked as to whether they are disability sensitized or not.
