• Abstract:

  This article deals with the conditions regarding the participation and political representation of people with disabilities; presenting the founding bases of Brazilian democracy, focusing on the structural and systemic dissonances that negatively impact the effectiveness of such popular representation. It also highlights the constitutional principles and ordinary legislation, specifically the Statute of Persons with Disabilities; and it presents a research through which people with disabilities themselves manifest themselves on the issues inherent to dealing with the problem, among which the theme linked to the concept of capacitation stands out.
