The disability rights movement is a social and political movement advocating for the equal rights and inclusion of individuals with disabilities. It seeks to challenge societal attitudes and systemic barriers that limit access to opportunities and full participation in society, particularly regarding issues of autonomy, healthcare, education, and employment. This movement emphasizes the importance of recognizing how disability intersects with other identities, including sexuality and gender identity, which can compound discrimination and marginalization.
