CASP denounces discrimination against student at the 8th Expoferia International Mega Manualidades

El CASP denuncia discriminación contra alumna en la “8va Expoferia Internacional Mega Manualidades”

The Centro Ann Sullivan del Perú (CASP) informs public opinion that Miss Fanny Rosa Roldan Tuero, a 22-year-old student who has cerebral palsy, was discriminated by the organizers of the 8th Expoferia Internacional Mega Manualidades who prevented her from entering the event.

It is important to mention that her grandparents and mother Juana Elena Tueros Lara were present when this outrageous discrimination happened.

People with different abilities have the same rights as any other Peruvian citizen, and they understand more than we think that they do. Now more than ever society must involve people with different in living activities as any other people.

CASP hopes that the National Institute of Defense of Competition and Protection of the Intellectual Property (INDECOPI in Spanish) takes the necessary measures to prevent other people with different abilities from suffering these discriminatory practices in our country.
