Urban adaptation and employment is the most important demand of Qazvin disabled people
Qazvin province, with more than 25,000 disabled people who are covered by welfare services, has always been able to take useful steps in the rehabilitation of these people and
However, responding to the various demands that are heard from the disabled community in Qazvin province is not an easy task, and in fact, in most cases, these people face various shortcomings and problems.
From school to urban adaptation, university, employment, marriage, health care, etc., the disabled community always faces shortcomings, some of which, such as urban adaptation and employment in government, are more important than others.
Raheleh Jatan, Deputy Minister of Welfare Rehabilitation of Qazvin Province Answers the following questions regarding these cases:
IRNA. Urban adaptation is still an issue for the disabled, what is the most important obstacle to urban adaptation?
In order to protect the disabled community, the law explicitly states that all public and government places must be adapted for the best possible access to these people. In this regard, several meetings have been held in the province over the past years and good resolutions have been passed.
Awareness of adaptation has increased compared to the past, many roads in Qazvin have been transformed due to existing approvals, and this is also important in construction; Even in the villages, the villagers are informed of our approvals and follow this issue.
But in general we can say that adaptation has been completely successful, when all members of society feel responsible for it; Engineers who build a project need to implement the adaptation and always focus on that in their minds.
IRNA. Can welfare act as an oversight body in this regard?
The welfare law defines welfare as an overseer of urban adaptation, yet welfare does not have the right to sign and comment on the completion permit for a construction project.
Welfare often holds training and awareness-raising sessions on urban adaptation for the building engineering system, even defining the Welfare Act as an overseer of urban adaptation, but Welfare nevertheless issues a final permit. Does not have the right to sign a construction project; It has been repeatedly argued that welfare should play a role in licensing new projects.
Although the engineering system has a positive view on the adaptation of health services or in some cases, how complete and correct these measures are, I think there is room for a welfare expert to comment on the projects.
IRNA. Some disabled people believe that why there is no privilege to buy a special automatic car for the disabled?
It is the right of all people to use vehicles, but our credit is not really large enough to cover these issues. However, there is credit for car adaptation so that people with disabilities can adapt their cars, as Example: A person with a disability can take a personal car to one of the authorized workshops in the province with this credit and change its use based on the type of disability.
To attract new disabled people, there must be an employment permit, which is the last employment date of the last five years.
IRNA. How much support do you have for hiring and attracting people with disabilities?
Welfare support for attracting people with disabilities has gone so far that the experts of this organization are advocating for these people in all stages of selection, especially interviews; Therefore, if a device has the conditions to be recruited and a person with a disability is also applying for a job, it will definitely be recruited; Provided that the person with a disability has the minimum conditions for employment in government agencies and also participates in the written exam.
Since finding a suitable job in the government apparatus is also difficult for non-disabled people, so people with disabilities are provided with excellent facilities for self-employment and even employers who employ these people will enjoy good benefits, for example A percentage of their employer insurance is discounted.
IRNA. How to receive self-employment facilities?
A person applying for self-employment facilities must first obtain a license or complete training courses; Accordingly, according to the memorandum concluded with the General Directorate of Technical and Vocational Education, the cost of learning for these people is free and the person can successfully complete the training courses.
Facilities in the amount of 100 million Tomans and with a 4% interest rate have been provided that people with the necessary conditions can enjoy. Even in the new law, conditions have been provided that it is possible to pay a loan to a family with disabled people.
IRNA. Is the bank guarantee for disabled applicants strict in the bank?
Bank guarantees are also made according to the law of banks and are beyond the scope of welfare authorities, but more than 2 guarantors are not always required and the introduction of the same number is sufficient.
Your last words with IRNA audience:
The demand for the rights of the disabled community regarding urban adaptation and employment is always pursued in 17 lines of the organization’s credit budget, but in general, welfare credits can only meet 80% of the needs of the disabled community, and in order to provide better services to these people, Other provinces should also cooperate and assist.
