Despite subsidies for severe disability of 100, those affected suffer from discrimination

Despite attempts to make the lives of those affected easier, for example with state subsidies, disabled people are discriminated against in our society. Especially in working life, people with severe disabilities do not have it easy. Women with disabilities in particular suffer from lower pay and hardly any opportunities for advancement, explains Christina Marx, spokeswoman for Aktion Mensch in an interview with fr.de. (tt)
