Disability harassment refers to unwelcome behavior or actions directed at individuals because of their physical or mental disabilities. This can include verbal abuse, bullying, or discriminatory remarks that create a hostile environment. Such behavior can occur in various settings, including workplaces, schools, and public spaces. This type of harassment is often rooted in stereotypes and misconceptions about disabilities. It can lead to significant emotional distress and can hinder the affected individuals' ability to participate fully in society. Laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act, aim to protect individuals from such discrimination and promote inclusivity.
