SECSESECOND ALTERNATIVE REPORT (SAR) A. INTRODUCTION The Mexico Coalition for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (COAMEX)1 is a collective of five civil society organizations whose goal is to influence public policy in our country to promote the provisions established in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This document is the Second Alternative Report (SIA) on the application of the CRPD in Mexico from 2014 to the present, covering articles 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31 and 33. Five different actions were carried out to gather the information, among them the COAMEX Campaign Consult to Build (CCCC), the National Survey for the Alternative Report (ENIA), information requests on the government’s transparency portals, analysis of official information and journalistic sources, as well as the study of recommendations made by different treaty bodies of the United Nations2. To develop these actions, we had support and financing from Scotiabank and the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF). Some relevant events regarding the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, general compliance with Human Rights in Mexico and the country’s sociopolitical context are described below as background.
