Cambodia has a major problem of
disabled people; it is a serious problem that government tries to solve and
protects them away from discriminations, social problems, and the living
standard.
Disable people in Cambodia are
national discrimination, lack of access employment, lack of access to education
and lack of access to health care. Despite the fact that Cambodian people have
one disability, the country does not have adequate legal provisions to protect
Human rights of people of disability.
Cambodia is also one of the most
mine polluted nations in the world (MAG,
2012) with 4 to 6 million mines exist within the country (CMAC, 2011),
especially the northwest religion.
The nations that higher of
discrimination on disabled people is a trouble that make them afraid of
society, people, communication. In general Cambodians lack a formation to
welcome disable people in to their normal communities. It is the fact of
Cambodia that discriminate on disable person at the work place and abuse the
rights of work. The cause is they are lack of the protection and valuable from
government and society. Disable people lack of access to education that makes
them become ignorance and can have the educated person in society.
Children with disabilities are
not sent to school and many of them are use in begin.. The
discrimination between teachers to students is also the hard one for disabled
people to get the knowledge and improve their abilities. Children are the main
suffocation that schools are far from homes and no any transportation. That is
a serious problem that lead Cambodia loses the human resources and nation
builders. According to article 5 of the UN Convention on the Rights of person
with disabilities. Equal and non-discrimination, every one is equal before and
under the law. Every one is entitled to the equal protection and benefit of law
and discrimination.
This article suggests the Cambodia
government to eliminate discrimination on disable people, give them equal
rights to work, study, and also right to communicate or involve in political.
Disable people of Cambodia lack of access health care service and affects of
epidemic every year.
Cambodia government has low
level of access to free health care for them; most of disable people are in
rural so they not have enough health care service. Most of them are poor people
that have no jobs, no abilities to get well paid job. Society discriminate on
them even a public health care, sometimes not for them to go to check health,
test of HIV/AID or free of medicines.
The technique of medical of
Cambodia is only in urban more than rural, urban is modernize so have more of
rich people are living there. That is a negative point that government has no
changed. It’s disable citizens stay in the trouble of all kinds of
discriminations.
There are four majors problem of
health care to disable people are lack of physical accessible facilities, lack
of accessible communication material for example HIV/AID and others,
discrimination experienced from health center staff, health center to far way
so need to pay for transport cost.
As the issues article has
mentioned above, there are three main majors problems for disable people in
Cambodia. The first one is national discrimination, discriminate on disable
people, makes them afraid of people, society, and communication with other
people. Second, lack of access to get education. Disable children are not sent
to schools because it to far from their homes and no any transportation. The
discrimination between teachers to students is the suffocation for all those
disable children in Cambodia. Third, lack access of health care service. Low
health care service at the rural, lack of technique of medical and also no free
of medicine. The main problem is the discrimination even on public health care
service. All above are the three major problems that government must solve and
eliminate the discrimination on disable people as soon as possible.
