Individuals with disabilities may be at risk of abuse, exploitation, and harm due to factors such as dependency on others for care, communication barriers that make it difficult to report abuse, discrimination and stigma that may lead to being seen as easy targets, and lack of access to resources and support services. In areas of their lives such as healthcare, residential facilities, and personal relationships, individuals with disabilities may face increased vulnerability to different types of abuse and exploitation.
