Abstract
In times of crisis, atavistic stigmas resurface, as well as evaluations of those with socially undesirable qualities and the different way they should be treated. As long as persons with disabilities are considered invisible citizens or special, as long as they are not truly regarded as part of society and mainstream policies do not take care of them, they will always be subject to the risk. of having their rights limited or ignored and will always be exposed, without justification, to different treatments, which violates human rights. The pandemic shows this situation in emergency actions, in medical triage, in lockdown of services, in general attention to respecting the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
