Question

Fighting for the Rights of Disabled Americans

Fighting discrimination often takes years of mass organization, protest, political lobbying, and legal challenges to win new laws and the power to enforce them. The 1973 Rehabilitation Act was considered an early victory for supporters of rights for the disabled. It included a provision stipulating that federally funded programs and facilities must be accessible to disabled individuals. The broader Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 expanded the protections first articulated in 1973. But the fight for equality often continues beyond the passage of laws recognizing the rights of those who are experiencing discrimination. No one knows this better than those who seek the end of discrimination against people with disabilities.

What steps are necessary to eliminate discrimination against those with disabilities?

What disabilities should be covered by ADA?

Is discrimination against those with disabilities comparable to discrimination against racial minorities and women?

Answer 1

• It is important to understand the core of discrimination in the cultures, society and in our own families.Another highlight is that recognition of rights and discrimination are two different aspects to be acknowledged.Understanding of one doesn't necessarily imply the knowledge for the other aspect.There are laws of Rehabilitation act ,that provided the accessibility of disabled persons, and ADA 1990.These laws are one of the steps to eliminate the discrimination atleast publicly.These laws can be purposefully circulated by fraternities, communities, schools,religious groups for the awareness and obligation of disabled people.Media circulation through social portals such as Facebook, Twitter can be beneficial too.Lastly, teaching empathy and ordinary reception of disabled persons by children in a family or at school can work potentially.
• ADA includes many medical disabled conditions.However,this act should also include Gender Identity disorders,psychoactive substance abuse, paedophilia, sexual disorders.
