Judith Heumann : Our fight for disability rights — and why we're not done yet


Judith Heumann TEDxMidAtlantic 2017
Our fight for disability rights — and why we're not done yet (transcript)
Summary
I think that it must be important to think something that is a bit odd or a little funny, to ask them to a lot of people and to discuss them.
It's because people hide differences and they endure it. Then there is discrimination there though people don't say anything. When women got right, it took time.

However, there are still many countries which don't have its laws.

However, we have been the same humans having the same rights.

Now, the same things happen to disabilities. If we break our leg or hand, we can't ride on buses or can't write anything on the exam.

In the past, in the U.S, I thought that there were many people who use the wheelchair outside. It meant that the cities and streets were accessible for them.

The speaker also tells in the TED talk that many countries don't have the same laws as disabilities do and opportunities for disabled people are more limited if they don't have the laws or if they don't enforce them.
The fight is still continuing until all disabled in the world can receive the same rights.
