The harmful stereotypes about disabled people are not just wrong—they’re dehumanizing. The misconceptions about laziness or lack of effort ignore the challenges we face. Instead of villainizing us, focus must be on building a society that values us for who we are, not who others assume us to be. #WeAreBillionStrong #DisabilityInclusion #Equity #Accessibility #Ableism #SDGs #AXSChat #BillionStrong
When we allow stereotypes to shape our view of disabled people, we lose sight of their humanity. Every assumption about laziness or lack of effort is a refusal to acknowledge the real and significant barriers they face daily. It’s time to move beyond judgment and towards empathy and support.
We can remove these type of stereotypes if more people participate in the field of social economic political and every field .the perception will change
These harmful stereotypes also have ties to Western Capitalism and Colonialism. We're seen as "unproductive" due to our difference. Unviable members of the capitalist machine, and hence inhuman - a threat to the productivity of the majority. Contemporary Society needs to question these outdated and bigoted values behind it's actions and bring value to the differences within our community
Dismissing them as lazy or unmotivated only adds to the burden. True progress begins when we acknowledge these challenges and work together to remove them.
