Policies must focus on removing barriers for differently-abled children: Justice B V Nagarathna
differently-abled children as removal of these obstacles paves the way for integrating them into society, Supreme Court judge B V Nagarathna said on Saturday. The judge was delivering her inaugural address for the two-day event, 'National Annual Stakeholders Consultation on Protecting the Rights of Children Living with Disabilities', organised by the apex court's Juvenile Justice Committee in association with UNICEF.
Justice Nagarathna, who is also the committee's Chairperson, said, «In a world where resources are limited and competing priorities abound, ensuring that policies affecting children living with disabilities are grounded in robust data and vigorous research is paramount.»
Justice Nagarathna said the handbook on inclusive terminology is being released by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud during the event.
She hoped that stakeholders and readers would impart the principles on semantics for referring to persons with disabilities and individuals with mental health conditions that have been «painstakingly enunciated in the chapter».
She said children and persons with disabilities have to struggle because of the intersection of their vulnerabilities with barriers in society, and when these are removed, they become part of society with equal access to opportunities.
