Ableism refers to the systematic prejudice and discrimination faced by individuals with disabilities. It encompasses a range of attitudes and beliefs that view disabled people as inferior, incapable, or less deserving of rights and opportunities. Ableism permeates societal structures, institutions, and interactions, resulting in exclusion, marginalization, and unequal access to resources and opportunities for disabled individuals. This systemic discrimination undermines their autonomy, dignity, and quality of life. Understanding and challenging ableism is crucial for creating inclusive and equitable societies that recognize and respect the rights and capabilities of all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
