The word ableism is a French translation of the term \u201cableism\u201d, deriving from the word \u201cable\u201d (capable, in French).\u00a0The concept of ableism includes\u00a0<\/span>discriminatory behavior<\/span><\/a>\u00a0against people with disabilities.\u00a0There are several clues about the\u00a0<\/span>origins of this concept<\/span><\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Most tend to originate within the civil rights movements for people with disabilities between 1960 and 1980, in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was then\u00a0<\/span>Disability Studies<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that would have contributed to the democratization of this notion in the academic world in the 1980s. Relying on militant mobilizations, this Anglo-Saxon field of studies challenges the exclusively medical view of disability, predominant in that time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In France, the term “abledism” appears for the first time\u00a0<\/span>in an activist text<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in 2004. This is a real turning point since, in a single word, is gathered all the discriminations in the direction of disability .\u00a0Since 2005, disability has been one of the eighteen discrimination criteria set by the\u00a0<\/span>High Authority for the Fight against Discrimination and for Equality<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(Halde).\u00a0Discrimination is found in unequal treatment by society, stigmatization, as well as in mental, social and unconscious processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ableism (or ableism in Canada) is based on\u00a0<\/span>two discriminatory approaches<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0:<\/span><\/p>\n
