CORTES MORENO, Javier  and  SOTOMAYOR MORALES, Eva María. The social exclusion of the persons with disability in situations of poverty: the case of the saharawi camps of algeria. Index Enferm [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.3, pp.180-184. ISSN 1699-5988.

Sometimes social, cultural and/or circumstantial determinism is likely to attract certain risk factors of social vulnerability, which can cause, especially in poverty contexts, an evident situation of social exclusion for the person or even his entire community. To analyze the situation of persons with disabilities in contexts of poverty, can be approximated from the influence of these circumstances. The case of the Saharawi camps in Algeria in the region of Tindouf, serve as an example to illustrate the phenomenon and visualize how in a same context can merge several factors that increase the welfare and quality of life of people. The same way, we investigate the circumstances from which the community and lined up with social external agents, causes the reaction of these societies and implements certain compensation mechanisms.
