敬 自由 / 劉家源
或許每個人的立足點都不一樣
在台灣
我們都能在自己舞台展現價值
.
台灣7年前通過《身心障礙者權利公約施行法》
外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中
透過潛水教練劉家源的故事讓更多人瞭解
在 #身障平權 這條路上，台灣與聯合國站在同一陣線上
.
從學員變成教練，劉家源說：
『在這裡，往目標前進的路上
總是有好多人上前幫助你
在我的舞台上展現價值
人們並不同情我而是公平的尊重
在這座島上
在這片海域裡
在台灣
我是自由的』
.
若聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利
台灣的夥伴價值，值得聯合國重視
在此感謝：
劉家源教練
身障潛水 夢想潛進
To Freedom / Liou Jia-yuan
Liou Jia-yuan is a diving instructor who doesn't believe that a disability should hold people back from exploring the wonders of the deep. A person with a disability himself, Liou, like many others, has benefited from the passing of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons Implementation Law in 2014 in #Taiwan. Following the passing of this law, The League for Persons with Disabilities started a program facilitating people with disabilities to dive, and eventually, this led to the formation of the Taiwan Disability Scuba Diving Association (#TaiwanDSD).
We recently featured Liou in “To Freedom,” our promotional short to mark the #UNGA76. We’re sure he speaks for many of his students when he says:
“Here, people are always there to help you reach your goals. When I express myself on my stage no one pities me. They treat me with fairness and respect. On this island and in its seas, in Taiwan, I’m free!”
If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.
