Answer to Question 1

Institutional discrimination is the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals or groups, resulting from the normal operations of a society. This applies to people with disabilities. For example, society is sometimes organized in a way that limits people with disabilities. Architectural barriers and transportation difficulties often add to the problems of people with disabilities when they seek and obtain employment. Simply getting around city streets can be quite difficult for people with mobility challenges. Many streets are not properly equipped with curb cuts for wheelchair users. A genuinely barrier-free building needs more than a ramp; it should also include automatic doors, raised letters and Braille on signs, and toilets that are accessible to people with disabilities. Even if a person with disabilities finds a job, and even if the job is in a barrier-free building, he or she still faces the problem of getting to work in a society in which many rail stations and most buses remain inaccessible to wheelchair users and others with disabilities.
