A handicap, in the context of disadvantage, refers to a condition or situation that limits an individual's ability to perform certain tasks or activities. This can include physical, mental, or social barriers that hinder participation in everyday life. For example, a person with a physical disability may face challenges in accessing public spaces or employment opportunities. Handicaps can also arise from societal factors, such as discrimination or lack of resources. These disadvantages can affect various groups, including those with mental health issues or individuals from marginalized communities. Addressing these handicaps often requires systemic changes to promote inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.
