Disableism, racism and young children
Jane Lane
Some children and young people (and, of course, adults) will be subject to discrimination because of their disability and because of their race. In this article, Jane Lane invites all of us to be aware of the potential for this dual inequality and to consider how the two discriminations can interact with each other. She also identifies how prejudiced attitudes and behaviour may impinge on and influence those who are not themselves directly subject to discrimination.
