Disability justice

Disability justice is a social justice movement which focuses on examining disability and ableism as they relate to other forms of oppression and identity such as race, class and gender.[1][2] It was developed in 2005 by the Disability Justice Collective, a group including Patty Berne, Mia Mingus, Stacey Milbern, Leroy F. Moore Jr., and Eli Clare.[1] In disability justice, disability is not considered to be defined in "white terms, or male terms, or straight terms."[1] The movement also believes that ableism makes other forms of prejudice possible and that systems of oppression are intertwined.[1] The disability justice framework is being applied to a intersectional reexamination of a wide range of disability, human rights, and justice movements.[3][4][5][6]
