DENIED CITIZENSHIP AND THE DEAF POPULATION: THEORETICAL APPROACHES ABOUT COMMUNITY HEALTH EQUIPMENT IN THE CITY OF LONDRINA

Abstract

Addressing the right to the city is a necessary act if we want to live in a more equitable society for the entire population, without distinction of social class, race, belief or disability. It is the duty of the state to guarantee the right to health of people who are deaf or hard of hearing, training health service professionals to use Libras, since only in this way will it be possible to provide accessibility to the population. The general objective of this research is to provide reflections on the social inclusion of the deaf population of Londrina-PR to community health facilities, focusing on UPA and UBS. The presence of the deaf in society is undeniably existent and known to the entire population, regardless of their social and/or economic class, present in the daily lives of the vast majority of Brazilian cities. Recognizing this scenario, the text of this paper also proposes to address the right to the city as a condition inherent to social class, however, with emphasis on the portion of the population that most needs better living conditions, with access to work, education, housing, leisure, culture and health.
