According to Healthline, the term ableism describes "any prejudice, bias, and discrimination directed toward people living with disabilities." Institutional ableism — the ableist policies and practices woven into the very structure of society — "reinforces, and even promotes, disability prejudice."

Institutional ableism is incredibly dangerous as it directly impacts the quality of life and care for people with disabilities, who deserve better from their country.
