Speech that is offensive or insulting to individuals because of characteristics such as color, national origin, sex, race, disability or other features is identified as hate speech. On the other hand disability hate speech is defined as that which discriminates people who are incapacitated. Individuals with inabilities in some way have a way of passing information to others members though they get discriminated by the members from the able society.
Different from racial and religiously motivated hate crime, this kind of crime is a relatively a concept that has been hard to eliminate. The aforementioned hate crimes can be changed or hidden unlike disability. This labeling of individuals with disabilities takes all the focus on their inabilities instead of their abilities and strengths, this creates a line between the individuals from the able society and disabled people.
The law enforcers have been slow in administering discipline against those who spearhead disability hatred speech. This makes the victims lose hope against them and develop an attitude that the forces are neglecting them. This therefore mutilates their dream for justice. They end up apologizing for who they are.
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.
Wiping out the stereotypes in the society about the disabled is the key mission of such organizations.one of the sensitive areas is language, this is what enables the recipient of the message to judge if the message has some elements of hatred directed to people with disabilities. Every individual is entitled to freedom of expression as long as his/her address does not violate other people rights.
