Discrimination, whether
it’s because of disability, gender, sexual orientation or race, etc, is illegal.
Some individuals, businesses, agencies or organizations may allow barriers to exist without realizing they are discriminating
against a segment of the population. At times it’s necessary to advocate for equal rights by initiating discussion or negotiation with the party that is responsible for the barrier(s).
When your individual
rights are denied or abridged because of disability, our staff will work
with you, and with the organization or business involved, to identify a
solution that provides access to that entity's goods and services.
ILRC offers advocacy
assistance to individuals who experience discrimination in employment or
housing or who are denied access to goods, services and facilities that are available
to the general public.
