Today in Uzbekistan we face more stigmas of people with physical disabilities than mental or racial stigmas. In order to implement ideas such as building an inclusive society, or removing barriers to the lives of people with disabilities, we must first remove the stigmas that have arisen and passed down from generation to generation. We need to prevent people with disabilities from feeling ashamed of themselves or of a blood relative with a disability. Because the fact that people with disabilities are unable to adapt to social life for fear of the opinions of others is one of the most pressing issues today.
