Inclusive leisure for individuals with disabilities: Consideration of the case for social justice

Pages 171-181 | Published online: 13 Jun 2021
 

Abstract

Individuals with disabilities do not have the same avenues to experience social justice as the general public. Lack of opportunities and misinterpretation of living with disabilities are just a few of the obstacles this population experiences when attempting to engage in daily activities, including leisure. Contradictory to the World Health Organization position of all humans having the right to pursue the quality of life, individuals with disabilities often experience oppression rather than equal rights. This paper aims to make a case for framing inclusive leisure in tenets of social justice. Inclusive leisure, rooted in social justice, is on a footing to counter oppression and advance the quality of life for people with disabilities.

Les personnes en situation de handicap n’ont pas les mêmes opportunités de faire l’expérience de la justice sociale que le grand public. Le manque d’opportunités et la mauvaise interprétation de la vie avec un handicap ne sont que quelques-uns des obstacles que cette population éprouve lorsqu’elle tente de s’engager dans des activités quotidiennes, y compris les loisirs. En contradiction avec la position de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé selon laquelle tous les êtres humains ont le droit de rechercher la qualité de vie, les personnes en situation de handicap sont souvent victimes d’oppression plutôt que d’équité. Cet article positionne l’encadrement des loisirs inclusifs dans les principes de justice sociale. Les loisirs inclusifs, enracinés dans la justice sociale, sont sur un pied d’égalité pour lutter contre l’oppression et améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes en situation de handicap.
