In the past, disabled people were not given an opportunity to express their choices. But with advancements in technology and with increasing awareness about the needs of disabled people, people with disabilities now have a greater choice to express themselves. In our current day and age, with more choices and with different choices being created, disabled people have many more options to live an independent life. These options are not just about gaining employment but are also about different choices in living and self-care.

In this article, we will talk about issues faced by disabled people that affect their daily life.

Inaccessibility

Today, more and more people in the world do not know about disability issues, or rather, most of them do not know how to handle disabilities. Accessibility is becoming important these days. People may use a wheelchair or any other mobility equipment, but they still use public transport and they visit the same places where people with disabilities cannot access. Some businesses and public spaces are still not accessible for disabled people. 

Lack of Access to Education

Education and learning should be accessible for everyone. If not, many disabled people will not be able to get a good education. More than 50% of disabled people do not attend schools. People with disabilities can be excluded from schools even if they can function independently. This discrimination is most prevalent in education. Disabled people are not allowed to sit in the same class as non-disabled people. They cannot go to the same college. This will prevent disabled people from getting jobs, especially jobs that only benefit them.

Inequality in Employment 

The problem of inequality in employment is a problem faced by everyone in the world. But when it comes to disabled people, the problem is bigger and more serious. Inequality in employment is not just about disabled people. It is a problem faced by all who are discriminated against in the world. Disabled people also get fewer job offers than people without disabilities. They do not get equal employment opportunities. In fact, they are also the least likely to get jobs. 

Lack of Independence

The problem of lack of independence is mainly a problem that people with physical disabilities face. However, it is a problem that everyone faces. If disabled people have choices, we can all improve our living conditions and our quality of life. But, in our current world, people are not open to having disabled people in their lives. Another problem is getting the right to access education. Education is a part of life. Everyone needs to have the chance to access education and to use education. If disabled people do not have this access, they will always suffer. 

Lack of Access to Self 

Care Healthcare is the right of every human being. No one should be left behind in the world because of any reason. Disabled people are the worst sufferers in this situation. Many people do not take care of disabled people. They are insensitive to the issues of disabled people.
