What are barriers?
Barriers are circumstances and/or obstacles that keep marginalized people from accessing opportunities, participating in activities and performing at the same level as other people without disabilities. For example, people with disabilities may not be able to do the same activities as others, but if the surroundings and people are welcoming to them, it should not be a problem.
People with disabilities can experience barriers in education, work, social life and at home. The barriers may differ per person as people with disabilities have different types of impairments, but also other differences in other characteristics, such as being a woman, or their refugee status.
