The right to adequate housing of persons with disabilities 2017, para. 12
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Stigmatizing notions of disability as an abnormality, inferiority or medical condition associated with disease manifest acutely in the housing experiences of persons with disabilities. People with disabilities are often forced to remain in their homes because of stigma and fear of violence. Proposed housing for persons with psychosocial or intellectual disabilities is frequently subject to neighbourhood opposition, and residents are frequently shunned or ostracized by neighbours. Children with disabilities are frequently hidden away and denied access to extended family, neighbours and other children.
