Disability Discrimination Act 1995; extended 2005- This legislation aims to end discrimination which disabled people may get. It gives disabled people rights in areas such as employment, housing, transport and in their education. This legislation requires people to promote equality of opportunity for people who have any disabilities. It also allows the government to set minimum standards so that people who have disabilities can use public transport more easily for example all buses now have ramps which people in wheelchairs use. It is unlawful in this legislation for an employer to treat someone with disabilities less favourably then someone because of their disability. This could help Amina as because she needs help when walking she often uses a wheelchair, this could help Amina as she could use public transport easily without having to ask someone to help. She could have a better chance at a job as people cannot treat her any differently because of her disabilities. This could make her feel that she now has a better chance in life as she has more opportunities and no one can make her feel isolated or left out.
