In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, a number of countries have passed laws aimed at reducingdiscrimination against people with disabilities. These laws have begun to appear as the notion ofcivil rights has become more influential globally, and follow other forms ofanti-discrimination andequal opportunity legislation aimed at preventingracial discrimination andsexism which began to emerge in the second half of the 20th century. Many of these Acts aim to reduce barriers for persons with disabilities in the areas of customer service, employment, built environment, transportation, and information and communications.[1]
