Not so long ago, to be a person with disabilities meant stigma, exclusion and isolation because people are disabled by society and not just by their bodies. But as the number of disabled people keeps rising and their visibility increases, many governments and organisations are making concerted efforts to make the world more accessible to the disabled; it is now seen as a human rights issue. A disability is any condition of the body or mind that makes it more difficult for the person to do certain activities and interact with society. People with disabilities are among the most marginalised groups in the world. They have poorer health outcomes, lower education achievements, less economic participation and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities, according to the WHO.
