Facts (-)
Risks Faced
- People with disabilities alongside Jewish, LGBTQ+, and Romani people were one of the main groups targeted by the Nazis during Hitler’s regime.
- Half of deaths at the hand of law enforcement are experienced by people with disabilities.
Despite this, we do not conceptualize police brutality as a race + disability issue.
Remaining figures are in the trigger warning section. - We seek to be respectful of individuals who would prefer to be unaware of their demographic averages. - Those who are undecided on whether they would like to know can seek out our “Key Facts” tab, which explains why we make a point to provide this information.
Costs Faced
According to a cost analysis done on local international student care affordability in Montreal, Canada costs to produce disability documentation are prohibitively high. Despite the lower costs to healthcare access compared to the US, accessibility remains a major barrier for adults. The study also found that women paid a premium for access to documentation because of the diagnostic gender gap (Strassmann-Peña, 2023).
