Question

Discuss the challenges that people have to face due to disabilities.

Answer in Brief

Solution

People with disabilities face numerous problems, including social discrimination and stigma, which can lead to separation and less possibilities for social connection. Accessibility is a significant issue since many public areas, companies, and educational institutions are insufficiently prepared to meet their demands. Employment chances may be limited because of employers' views about their talents and a lack of inclusive workplace practices. Furthermore, individuals may have difficulty receiving excellent healthcare and support services. These problems can significantly impact their independence, self-esteem, and overall quality of life.
