Um Guia para as Igrejas sobre a Prevenção da Fístula Obstétrica

WCC Human Rights programme

Este guia tem como objetivo sensibilizar igrejas e comunidades religiosas sobre a condição catastrófica que é a fístula obstétrica – uma lesão que ocorre no parto, geralmente devido a trabalhos de parto prolongados e obstruídos que não recebem intervenção médica em tempo hábil. A fístula obstétrica pode ter consequências físicas, emocionais e econômicas devastadoras para as mulheres, podendo inclusive levar a deficiência permanente.
 

Las iglesias de África acuerdan directrices para la inclusión de la discapacidad

“Tengo parálisis cerebral con cuadriplejia espástica, lo que significa que todas mis extremidades están gravemente afectadas”. A pesar de esto, mi parálisis cerebral no me define. Soy mucho más que mi parálisis cerebral”, dijo Julius Van der Wat, miembro de la Iglesia Reformada Holandesa de Pretoria (Sudáfrica), en una reciente conferencia de las iglesias sobre discapacidad celebrada en Sudáfrica.

Kirchen in Afrika einigen sich auf Richtlinien für die Integration von Menschen mit Behinderungen

„Ich habe spastische quadriplegische Zerebralparese, das heißt, meine Gliedmaßen sind durch meine Zerebralparese stark beeinträchtigt. Das heißt jedoch nicht, dass mich meine Zerebralparese definiert. Ich bin viel mehr als meine Zerebralparese“, sagte Julius Van Der Wat, ein Mitglied der Niederländisch-reformierten Kirche in Pretoria, Südafrika, kürzlich bei einer Kirchenkonferenz über Behinderungen in Südafrika.
