Disability inclusion in society

People with disabilities should be included in all areas of life and given equal opportunities in education, work and social spaces, as stated by UNICEF Innocenti. Many of the challenges they face come from barriers in their society. These include attitudes and systems that limit access, rather than the disability itself, the report explains. Building inclusive environments helps ensure full participation for everyone and promotes fairness across communities. It also shows that disability inclusion benefits wider society by improving access and equality.
