Overview

• On July 30, the United Commissions of Human Rights and Inclusion began working sessions to collect and refine proposals from people with disabilities
• Legislators including Víctor Gabriel Varela López urged participants to formalize concrete proposals for deputies to transform into law
• The forum provides a formal channel for direct, free plus dignified participation rather than serving as a symbolic exercise
• According to INEGI data, 18.51 percent of Mexico City’s residents have a disability, underscoring the sector’s historic under-representation in policymaking
• Jointly led by the Congress’s Human Rights and Inclusion commissions plus the Institute of Persons with Disabilities, the initiative aims to align local legislation with international inclusion standards
