Sexuality

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, and transgender (LGBT) people often face discrimination from the heterosexual majority.

LGBT people:

• often suffer harassment, abuse and violence;
• might struggle to find housing;
• might not find a job that treats them well and pays them fairly;
• might be excluded from social services.

People with disabilities

People with mental and physical disabilities often face discrimination from the able-bodied majority.

There are many simple adjustments that can be made to accommodate disabled people. They are discriminated against when these adjustments are not made.

Disabled people:

• might have limited education and employment prospects;
• face physical barriers to their movement (buildings without wheel chair ramps, for example);
• face exclusion from social events.
