There are currently over 650 million people living in the world with
some kind of functional diversity.

3. Título: Barreras arquitectónicas
Autor: Óscar Vázquez Arrojo
If we add the group of family members who habitually live with them, this figure
becomes a very significant number: two billion inhabitants whom, in one way or
another, cope with these circumstances on a daily basis.

They have low hopes of attending schools, obtaining jobs, having their own home,
developing their gender identities, forming a family, considering maternity or
paternity or enjoying social or political life.

5. Título: Oteando el horizonte
Autor: Manuel López Puerma
This is particularly true in cases of men and women with severe
functional diversity meaning they need the support of other people in
order to carry out their life’s project.

6. Título: El mejor jinete

For the great majority of people living with functional diversity in the world,
shops, services, public transportation, information, communication, etc., are,
to a large extent, outside their reach.

7. Título: Amigos para siempre
Autor: Francisco Joaquín López Grau
The social and political structure is what disables and determines the
precarious nature of the human reality of functional diversity. Therefore, it is
of utmost importance to eradicate the phenomenon of disablement, since
there is a fact, functional diversity is an inherent condition that concerns all
humanity.

8. Título: Sombra de la alegría 2
Autor: Luis Quintanal Cabriales
The process of disabling who suffer people with a functional diversity is a determining
factor in social exclusion and discrimination, which, if added to many others, such as:
sex discrimination, sexual orientation, inter-generation, levels of poverty, different
ethnic groups, skin colour, typology and/or degree of functional diversity..., becomes a
devastating situation.

9. Título: Hermano dauda
Autor: Juan Carlos Ruiz Duarte
The figures are condemning: it is estimated that among the poorest people in the
world 20% are those who suffer some kind of functional diversity; 82% of people with
functional diversity in developed countries live beneath the poverty threshold.

10. Título: Sombra de la alegría 4
Autor: Luis Quintanal Cabriales
98% of children with functional diversity in developing countries do not attend
school; 30% of street children in the world live with some kind of functional
diversity, and the level of literacy among adults with functional diversity only
reaches 3% and in some countries it is even as low as 1% when we are talking of
women with functional diversity.

11. Título: Quién fuera como él
Autor: Yander Alberto Zamora De Los Reyes
Marginalisation and exclusion lead to poverty, and the more there is, the higher
the probability of systematic discrimination against people with functional
diversity throughout their lives.

12. Título: El bajista de jazz
Autor: Robert Navarro
All forms of oppression against men and women with functional diversity must be
eradicated. This must take place from an inter-group point of view, among people
with and without functional diversity.

13. Título: El amor más allá de las palabras
Autor: Patricia Otero
A culture of peace demands fighting against the violence of poverty and social
injustice, such as discrimination, exclusion or forced dependence, in every aspect
of the life people with functional diversity.

14. Título: Sin límites
Autor: Santiago Bañón Irujo
It is therefore mandatory to correct all this unbalance within each country and
between different countries in order to sever the roots of violence in the world.

15. Título: Igual a tí
Autor: Fernando Marcelo Cañuelo
Real and effective equality of people, respect for human diversity, development,
Independent Living, Human Rights and the Right to Peace, are joined at their
roots.

16. Título: Hasta donde queramos llegar
Autor: Jorge Villa Bolaños
There cannot be long-lasting peace without human development, in the same way
that it cannot be attained without full equality between people with or without
functional diversity.

17. Título: Contra el vidrio
Autor: Miguel Montes
We must fight against all kinds of
violence, searching for peaceful ways to
resolve conflicts and to forge attitudes
of tolerance and active commitment
towards others, with or without
functional diversity.

18. Titulo: Un Mar de Voluntad
Autor: Vicente Andrés Pérez Bolaños
Human society is capable of transforming conflicts, either violent or
otherwise, into a positive change experience.

19. Título: Desafío o temor
Autor: Sonia Sánchez Cuellar
That can happen if, and only if, each and every one of us, excluded for
whatever reason, including functional diversity, manages to fully take an
active part in all processes. Only then we could combat the Culture of
Violence that thwarts all humanity in one way or another.

20. Título: Nuestras manos son nuestra voz
Autor: Mª Teresa Brioso Montaner
In order to achieve a Culture of Peace, we must make and build, through
education, a Culture of Independent Living, as well as a Culture of Human Rights,
which jointly complement each other in order to guarantee a democratic,
participative and pacific coexistence.

21. Título: Mano amiga
Autor: Ana Yturralde Arquiola
Since wars (or other multiple forms of violence) are born in the minds of women and
men (with or without functional diversity), it is in the minds of these people where
the bastions of peace must be erected.

22. Título: Rostros
Autor: José Antonio Pupo García
"Disability" is found in every socio-political, economic and cultural structure,
meaning that it is a concept created by the human brain and consequently, with the
right education under the perspective of the Philosophy (worldwide) of Independent
Living, and that of Human Rights, we will contribute to a positive attitude and
changes in mentality which will hold up a Culture of Peace.

23. Título: Herencia de guerra
Autor: David Martínez
Achieving Peace must take into account the rights of people with functional
diversity, more so when dealing with poverty stricken people. To a large extent
these are populations devastated by war or other disasters. In such circumstances
they are the causes of functional diversity and of absolute abandonment in civil and
general populations.

Through Resolution 52/15 passed on November 20th
1997 by the United Nations, in
which the year 2000 was proclaimed “International year of the Culture of Peace”, it
invited through its “Statement for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence”, to commit
to contribute to the development of the community we are part of.

25. Título: Así mejor
Autor: Olga Soto Valenzuela
Some people with severe functional diversity, who need human support to carry
out our daily living activities or to guide us in our daily learning, did so.

26. Título: Amanecer
Autor: Juan Luís De Vega Blanco
We believe that functional diversity (human diversity) is synonymous of wealth,
and without our presence or active participation in society, a Culture of Peace
will not be possible.
