Description
Summary:From the beginning and development of the Independent Living Movement, people with functional diversity became aware of their rights as citizens. One of these is the right to live independently and to be included in the community. To make it real, personal assistance is fundamental. With the arrival of this movement to Europe and thanks to its demands, different personal assistance initiatives have been launched and national regulations to regulate this resource have been approved. In this article we analyse the public policies on personal assistance that are being implemented in Sweden and their comparison with those existing in our country. Con el nacimiento y desarrollo del Movimiento de Vida Independiente, las personas con diversidad funcional tomaron conciencia de sus derechos como ciudadanos. Uno de estos es el derecho a vivir de forma independiente y a ser incluido en la comunidad y para hacerlo realidad es fundamental la asistencia personal. Con la llegada de este movimiento a Europa, y gracias a sus demandas, se han puesto en marcha diferentes iniciativas de asistencia personal y se han aprobado normativas nacionales que la regulan. En este artículo se analizan las políticas públicas sobre asistencia personal que se están implementando en Suecia y su comparación con las existentes en nuestro país.
