Disability Discrimination

Disability discrimination occurs when people with physical or mental disabilities are given fewer opportunities or unfairly treated because of their disabilities. Examples can be found in schools that don't make accommodations for disabled students, buildings that are hard to manoeuvre in, and workplaces that keep people with disabilities from advancing. Disability Discrimination in Society examines what this discrimination entails, how it is manifested, how widespread it is, how it affects real people, and efforts to address this discrimination.
