Disability Activism
Disability activism is a movement aimed at advocating for the rights and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. Activists work to raise awareness about the challenges faced by people with disabilities, such as accessibility issues, discrimination, and social stigma. They strive to promote equal opportunities in areas like education, employment, and healthcare.
Organizations and individuals involved in disability activism often collaborate to influence policy changes and improve public perceptions. Key milestones in this movement include the passage of laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States, which prohibits discrimination based on disability and ensures access to public spaces.
