@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay Yes, there's a slight problem though @Rufusmay
When we are discussing matters of policy & of widescale structural changes in society required for the realisation of a ratified convention
We do actually need to know & understand, what that convention & it's guidance says and why

@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay The guidance and the convention, were not decided upon unilaterally, but painstakingly negotiated in an unprecedented process wherein 80% of the convention itself was drafted by civil society, specifically: Disabled People's Organisations
And the guidance was negotiated likewise
And the guidance was negotiated likewise
@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay Through a process of very diversely people raising through their international representation issues that were affecting them in the misinterpretation of the convention, and there were further guidance & rules negotiated and clarify how to ensure all needs met
@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay So once everyone understands the guidance we have to date, anyone whose needs and perspectives have been left out are able to expand (not reduce or diminish, as what's there so far is there to meet real peoples' real needs and perspectives) the guidance to include them too
@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay So, very much hope @Rufusmay when you make this comment about respecting others' perspectives you are not referring to any people jumping up & down to place attention on our needs for everyone to understand CRPD and it's guidance so we know our rights & how not to breach others'?
@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay Because marginalising people, and their rights, is really, really, really **not** respecting their perspectives is it?
It's reducing the conversation, to be one where people who have a space are privileged in that space
& Where all those who don't "fit" are marginalised out

@Exnihil80688795 @Rufusmay I dearly hope you are not reducing collected guidance thus far painstakingly negotiated convention that was painstakingly negotiated, or our need to focus on its implentation to individual "viewpoint" or "belief" @Rufusmay & would be grateful for your clarification on this matter
