Municipal Councils on Disability (Buenos Aires)
The Municipal Councils for Disabled People are intersectoral bodies that advise Municipal Governments on public policies to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities, suggesting initiatives and reforms. The Councils are made up of people with disabilities and their families, representatives of educational institutions, and civil society organizations working on issues related to the inclusion of disabled people. Several municipalities in Buenos Aires created municipal councils through local ordinances and laws.
