| In all of the cases of civil rights denial, there have been multiple instances of victim being denied housing just because he is from a particular community, or a particular race, religion or a particular sexual orientation (not as the primary ground) or has some kind of disability. |
| The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is one of the key international regulations passed by the United Nations Organization. This is primarily a declaration to ensure equal rights to the people with disabilities. |
| People with disabilities tend to face a lot of discrimination. Considering the importance laid down on Civil Rights in the Constitution of United States and the increasing international awareness about Human Rights, the Congress has enacted various permissive and restrictive legislations. |
| The awareness of discrimination against people with disabilities started to spread as early as Lyndon Johnson presidency. It was during his term that the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 was passed. |
| Keeping up with its spirit of freedom and non discrimination, the Government of United States has implemented Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. It is laid down in Title 42 of the United States Code with Section 12101. |
