Social inclusion is the set of actions that guarantee the equal participation of all in society, regardless of social class, physical condition, education, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, among other aspects.
Before social inclusion measures are formulated and applied, it is necessary to observe what they are. the excluded groups and what should be improved so that they can be fully inserted in the society.
For example, the physically handicapped (especially wheelchair users) need public sidewalks to be in good condition and have ramps. Otherwise, these people do not feel represented in the society in which they live, as their needs are simply ignored.
Building ramps that facilitate access for the physically challenged to sidewalks becomes a example of social inclusion, as it consists of a measure that aims to promote the harmonious integration of a group, at first marginalized, in society.
