The crime related to skin color and religious affiliations have been on decline, but the hate against the disabled has been hard to wipe out. This is because the only person who can detect hate is the victim who in this case is the disabled. Disability can be observed at a glance unlike religion and political views. This tagging on disabled individuals lays a lot of focus on their negativity and stains their strengths. This creates a bold line of separation between the two divides.
Those who propagate hatred enjoy their freedom since the law enforcement bodies are reluctant in administering justice to the victims. They get demoralized and hence they develop an attitude that the society neglects the under privileged whenever a case involving them is reported. The continuous negligence of their rights makes them apologetic of the condition they are in.
This has led to the establishment of organizations that advocate for equality and ensure that all people living with disabilities and special needs are represented fairly and accurately in government offices, news, entertainment, social media and other platforms. Any company government or private should be restricted to consider the disabled in the recruitment of their employees. This will cement the relationship between all people in society.
Discouraging stereotypes from the minds of persons in society is a priority of these organizations. The privileged individuals in society should not be a barrier to other peoples freedom of expressing themselves . In the time of conflict on which is important between community interests protection and safeguarding persons rights, balancing should be done that does not limit the speakers freedom and protect other people rights.
Expressions that are biased give an avenue for the categorization of individuals based on the negative characteristics associated with them thus injuring their personality directly. Persons react to messages differently it may cause some a physical or emotional harm.
Today many countries have committed themselves to end this hate speech by coming up with ways to control the vice. Societies have been created in schools with open membership regardless of his/her physical appearance, language or culture. This gives hope to them that even their views can be taken.
Vacancies in the top government offices are kept for the disabled individuals to allow them to air their views and contribute to nation building especially when their ideas are absorbed. Guiding and counseling centers are related to offer counseling to traumatized members . Many anti-hate speech institutions have been put in place handle the reported cases. Any statement that can provoke the public should be discarded before it reaches the recipients table.
