Review

Disablism: how to tackle the last predudice by Miller, P., Parker, S. and Gillinson, S. Demos 2004

Disablism - 'discriminatory, oppressive or abusive behaviour arising from the belief that disabled people are inferior to others' - is a reality for many disabled people and 'blights our society' says this report, produced by independent think-tank Demos. It reveals the impact of disablism on the lives of disabled people in the UK in stories and statistics.

The report describes problems as messes and difficulties: 'In a mess, unlike a difficulty, there is little agreement about what a solution would look like, or how it would be achieved […] Disability debates are [therefore] messes rather than difficulties.' Clearing up the mess requires new models of collaboration between diverse and sometimes opposed entities.

The report discusses 'trading zones' where individuals can move forward from traditional 'silo mentalities' by acknowledging difference and identifying opportunities for shared benefits and outcomes. The concept of trading zones has widespread potential.

Mainstreaming disability in development will only be realised when all stakeholders agree on a set of principles, respect each other's expertise, and acknowledge that cooperation is the way forward.
