Disability hate crime is an abhorrent form of intolerance that targets individuals based on their disability. It can manifest in various ways, ranging from verbal abuse and discrimination to physical violence and even murder. Victims of disability hate crime often face significant barriers in accessing justice due to prevailing societal attitudes that minimize the severity of these crimes. Sadly, disability hate crime remains under-reported and under-prosecuted, highlighting the need for increased awareness, education, and support for victims.
