In the 24th episode of the Agenda of the Disabled; despite the withdrawal of the regulation restricting the purchase of disabled vehicles with SCT exemption, the removal of the VAT exemption for the import of disabled technologies, the manhole accident of visually impaired teacher Gülderen Durna Dalgıç living in Samsun, accessibility problems in Antalya, the Disability Honor Month celebrated after the enactment of the American Disability Act (ADA) in 1990, and WhatsApp's new feature of reading voice messages in written form are discussed. Following the withdrawal of the regulation restricting the purchase of disabled vehicles with SCT exemption, the VAT exemption applied to the import of disabled technologies was removed. As a result of the regulation urgently accepted in a night meeting in the TBMM General Assembly, disabled people will be able to have technological tools that make their daily lives easier by paying more. In this episode, the civil society organizations that objected to the regulation restricting the purchase of disabled vehicles by benefiting from the SCT exemption with a disabled health report and a disability health report and made a loud noise are criticized for not taking action when it comes to technological tools that increase the participation of disabled people in social life. In Samsun, visually impaired teacher Gülderen Durna Dalgıç fell into a manhole that was left open. Her husband Emrah Dalgıç hit his head on the manhole cover while trying to save his pregnant wife. Fortunately, it was learned that Gülderen Durna Dalgıç and her baby are in good condition. In this section of the program, it is emphasized that the real problem is the disregard for citizen safety and accessibility, by touching on the accidents that visually impaired people have experienced in public spaces due to the negligence of authorities. In Antalya, visually impaired people complain about the municipality's failure to make arrangements for public transportation vehicles, audible traffic lights and sensible surfaces. Based on this news, it is emphasized that it is necessary to be reactive against institutions that do not make accessibility arrangements. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) went into effect in 1990. From this year on, July is celebrated as Disability Pride Month in the USA. In this section of the program, the background of Disability Pride Month, which is the scene of major celebrations every year in the USA, and how it can inspire Turkey are evaluated. WhatsApp announced that with a new update, voice messages can be read in written form. Thanks to this feature, which is still in beta and does not have Turkish language support, the hearing impaired will be able to access their audio WhatsApp messages in written form. This feature will also provide great convenience for those who do not have time to listen to voice messages. You can move to the section you want by clicking on the timestamps in the video.
