[AI] Venu V writes an Op-Ed in the HT today: Tourism needs to become an enabling force

2016-10-05 Thread avinash shahi
This year is focused on accessible tourism and the idea that no person
should be denied the value and the joys of travel for want of
easily-created amenities to accommodate their special needs.

The demand for accessible tourism has gained ground in the last decade
on the understanding that a considerable section of society — by some
estimates, nearly a third of the world’s population — encounters
varying degrees and types of access constraints.

In much of the Western world, gaps in service provision are being
bridged through fundamental rights legislation, proactive
infrastructural reform, building codes, and special needs rights
movements, among other indicators of change. In the Indian context,
though accessible tourism has been formally recognised by the
government, attempts to harmonise responsibilities under the UN
Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which India
is a signatory, with the existing legislation governing disability
have been more difficult. Efforts to reform the Persons with
Disability (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full
Participation) Act 1995 — the governing act that guarantees, among
other rights, the creation of a barrier- free environment — are yet to
make a difference. The Accessible India campaign, launched last year
to cater in a better way to access in infrastructure, transport,
accommodation among others, with a provisional auditing mechanism
built into it, may be a step in the right direction, though it is
early days yet.

Also, the lack of differentiation between various aspects of access
needs constitutes a problem. The universal access argument requires an
understanding that disability itself is not homogeneous. It is
multi-dimensional, extending to mobility, auditory, visual, cognitive,
mental health, age-related or long-term health conditions. Ideal
conditions for universal access may be easier stated than achieved.
There are, however, incremental steps that destination managers, tour
providers and resort owners, among other stakeholders, can take to
build the experience, even as policy catches up.

















The National Museum in New Delhi had begun a project, with the support
of Unesco and some volunteer groups, to make aspects of the museum
accessible to the visually impaired. The result was the Anubhav
Tactile Gallery, which houses 22 replicas of museum objects,
representing some 5,000 years of Indian art providing an enriching
visitor experience through tactile pathways, layered and textured
impressions of 2D works, an audio-guide and Braille labels.

Some of the strategies that tourism operators might use to align
themselves better with the principles of universal design include
incorporating barrier-free designs and familiarising themselves with
laws and global accessibility standards.

Universal access to tourism is one of the necessities for an equitable
world, and it may be easier to achieve in increments than struggle to
bridge access inequities wholesale.

Hi Sir,

[AI] Can a Deaf woman become judge? follow this case going on in Australia

2016-10-05 Thread avinash shahi
Gaye Lyons says her case is about equality for ‘every citizen of
Australia’ after high court rejects her appeal
A Queensland woman who wanted to become the country’s first deaf juror
says a high court ruling against her is “a smack in the face” for deaf
Australians.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/oct/05/ruling-to-prevent-deaf-woman-becoming-juror-described-as-a-smack-in-the-face
Gaye Lyons, who is profoundly deaf, said her case was about the
principle of justice and equality for “every citizen of Australia”.

“Deaf people should not be treated any differently,” Lyons said. “The
high court does not see that.”
The deputy registrar of an Ipswich court told Lyons in 2012 she must
be excused from jury duty because there was no provision in the
state’s Jury Act to swear in an Auslan interpreter or for that person
to be allowed in the jury room.

Lyons took the case to the Queensland Civil and Administrative
Tribunal, the supreme court of Queensland and the Queensland court of
appeal, where the decision was upheld each time.

The high court on Wednesday dismissed her appeal.

The chief executive of Deaf Australia, Kyle Miers, said the court had
failed to recognise the UN convention on the rights of people with
disabilities.

“’It is time for all states and territories, including the
commonwealth government, to take immediate action to amend their
anti-discrimination acts and to remove discrimination in all areas
and, more importantly, recognising the right for deaf people to use
Auslan,” he said
The judges agreed that Queensland law did not permit an interpreter to
be present during jury deliberations in the absence of specific
legislative provisions.

In arguing Lyons’ case, solicitor Kylie Nomchong SC rejected claims
about possible errors from interpreters and said there was just as
much chance that a hearing juror would be bored, distracted or suffer
a lapse in concentration.

Lawyers for the state said there was no way to test the accuracy of
interpretations and the Jury Act was simply being administered as it
was intended.

The high court ruled that the presence of a person other than a juror
in the jury room during deliberations was “an incurable irregularity”,
regardless of whether or not they participated.

The Queensland attorney general, Yvette D’Ath, said the
confidentiality of jury deliberations and the right to a fair trial
were “among the most fundamental tenets of our justice system.”

[AI] Haroon Siddique reports in the Guardian: 3 Specialised Hotels for the blind gonna be sold Guests are in shock

2016-10-05 Thread avinash shahi
Action for Blind People says it cannot afford the upkeep of three
hotels in Devon, Somerset and the Lake District
Blind guests fear for future of three specialist hotels
The futures of the UK’s three remaining specialist hotels for blind
people are in doubt, sparking fears that visually impaired people
could be left isolated.
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/oct/02/blind-guests-fear-for-future-of-three-specialist-hotels-sold-by-charity
Action for Blind People is selling the Cliffden in Teignmouth, Devon;
the Lauriston in Weston-super-Mare; and Windermere Manor, in the Lake
District, because it can no longer justify the running costs.

The charity is hopeful that the hotels will stay open under new
management, but critics of the sale believe that closure is more
likely and that blind and partially sighted people will suffer.
David Haynes, 69, from South Milford, Yorkshire, said: “Without this
sort of facility, I don’t know what people will do. You can’t imagine
what it’s like leaving your house without any sight at all. People go
there because all the staff are trained with regard to working with
visually impaired people. It’s safe and secure.”
As well as being a regular visitor, Haynes sits on the Action for
Blind People customer council. He is angry the council was not
consulted over the decision, which was made by senior management and
approved by the charity’s trustees, most of whom are blind or
partially sighted
The three hotels have swimming pools, textured surfaces, talking alarm
clocks, large-button phones, braille menus and facilities for guide
dogs. They also provide a pick-up service from nearby stations and run
supervised trips.

Action for Blind People said 2,000 visually impaired people used the
hotels last year – just under half the total number of guests –
although many went more than once. The charity said an increase in
sighted guests is one reason it cannot justify the extra expenditure
of £950,000 needed to run and maintain the hotels over the next three
years.

But Haynes said the hotels provided an invaluable opportunity for the
visually impaired to talk to each other and interact with the sighted.
“We all learn from each other,” he said.

“It’s an indictment of 21st-century Britain that there’s no provision
for the visually impaired to go to a hotel. All hotels have to have
access for people in wheelchairs but they don’t all have to have staff
trained to work with the visually impaired, to do small things like
saying your meat is at eight o’clock [on your plate], your potatoes
are at four o’clock.”

Christine Newcombe, vice-chair of Guide Dogs Circle, is another patron
angry about the decision. She describes the hotels as a lifeline,
particularly for the most vulnerable, who are completely blind, like
herself. “People are going to be isolated,” she said. “There’s been no
consultation. No one has actually asked blind people what they
actually want. The hotels offer peace of mind, health and safety.

“I just go with a friend and and leave John [her husband] at home. We
have both got guide dogs. We just have a nice time. They do trips
during the stays, [and] that would be difficult in an ordinary hotel.”
An Action for Blind People spokeswoman said: “We’re doing everything
we can to find suitable buyers for the three Vision hotels to make
sure they stay open, but we do understand that a lot of people are
upset by the news that Action for Blind People will no longer be
running the hotels. “This has been a very difficult decision to make
as we know how much Vision hotels mean to customers, staff and
volunteers. To have kept the hotels open, we would have had to divert
funds from other services and after careful consideration, we decided
that this was not the right thing to do.”


She said the hotels were still taking bookings.

[AI] Deepa Soman writes from Thrissur: NSS: Students show the way to light up lives of the visually challenged

2016-10-05 Thread avinash shahi
The students of C Achutha Menon College, Thrissur, are upbeat that
some of their innovative ideas can probably be a path-breaker in the
world of the visually impaired. Through its National Award winning NSS
wing, the college will now help build communities that help the
visually challenged read books, travel with ease and write exams,
better! Here's how!
.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kochi/Students-show-the-way-to-light-up-lives-of-the-visually-challenged/articleshow/54677589.cms
.
 "We have set up a voice bank, companion bank and scribe bank, which
has service-minded students as members. While some of them are from
our college, there are students from outside colleges too," says Sijo
Varghese, a faculty. And how do they help?

 The voice bank consists of students who read and record books and
newspapers, so that the visually challenged can listen to them. Sisira
Sivan, a student, says, "Such voice books are available in English but
there are not many in Malayalam. So, we read them and through phones,
record the books, save them in CDs and send them to the Kerala
Federation of the Blind. They upload it on their website, which are
accessed by many from the State." Interestingly, they have already
recorded five books. "The stories of M Mukundan, Perumbadavam
Sreedharan, Zachariya, ONV and a few poems of Kadammanitta are the
ones we have recorded so far," she says.

.

.
 The students have also formed a whatsapp group named Dyuthi to help
the visually challenged. "It's a group in which only voice messages
are allowed, as the visually challenged are also part of it, alongside
us. We often send them recorded news and other important reads on this
forum. There are also those who introduce new English words, tidbits
of general knowledge, et al," says Dilna K R, a student.
Interestingly, many students from other colleges have also become part
of the group, as of now.
.


.
 Times are such that the visually challenged can write most of the
exams, with scribes. "However, it's not easy to find scribes that suit
all the qualifications as per the rules and also have time to spend.
Scribe bank is an initiative to help the visually challenged, write
exams easily," says Shabana Yasmin, a student. The college has already
intimated other colleges in the area on the initiative, and collected
info on those students who want to help. "If things go well, we will
start it in other districts too," says Sijo. While most scribes charge
to write exam, members of the scribe bank won't collect any money.

.


.
 Companion bank, which is an initiative to find companions for the
visually challenged for trips, is in its initial stages. "As of now,
we have gathered details of people who are willing to serve. It will
start functioning as soon as the requests start coming in," says Sijo.
The students see this as the pre-runner to a bigger cause. "Our dream
is to expand these banks to create an impact, beyond the walls of our
college. Considering the reception we've been experiencing, it's no
distant dream," they say in unison.
