The Disability Justice Movement

The Disability Justice Movement is a social movement that advocates for the fair treatment, rights, and dignity of people with disabilities. It emphasizes intersectionality, recognizing how race, gender, sexuality, and class influence experiences of disability. The movement challenges societal barriers, discrimination, and systemic inequalities, promoting accessibility, community-led solutions, and an understanding of disability as a valuable aspect of diversity. Its goal is to create an inclusive society where all individuals, regardless of ability, can thrive with respect, autonomy, and full participation.
