I am disabled and by nature I have been denied jobs denied education at a government institution in a Western Civilisation called Australia. Many organisations do not have high hopes for people who are disabled. It took me 5 years to get a job. What is the difference between a disabled person with a degree and a non disabled person or abled person with the same degree. The answer is nothing. But people lying pushing and pulling disabled people into roles sterotypes and arctypes. Worries me greatly. Why should I not be a father. Why whould I not get the same work and oppunities as a person who is not disabled. andy why should I be denied education that everyone should get, Disabled people have trouble getting human rights good jobs that sustain them creativly and fullfill them. They are given jobs because people think that 5 hours with a non career making job should make them smile. Disabled people have the same needs and wants as able bodied people. I want a house to live in I want to pay for it earn my keep but bogas and untrue assumptions about disabled people are everpresent in so called first world countries. How can we call ourselves civilised if and "I paraphrase from Hermonie its not how you treat your equals its how you treat your non equals shows how good you are." The time for equal equality for disabled people is now.

Fantastic speech. Emma Watson is the definition of a class act.

It was a great speech! I wonder who her writers were? I ask this not beacause she is a woman but because it speaks from a point well beyond her age.
