Summary/Abstract: The system of modern society is based on the assumptions of the ideology of neoliberal economics. In modern society people with disabilities are subjected to the symbolic violence of adaptive and inclusive rehabilitation programs. Their goal is to activate the disabled, adapting them to the lifestyle of the functional majority of this society. The paternalistic social system does not tolerate the dissimilarity of disabled people and deprives them of the right to autonomous and sovereign self-determination. Discrimination against people with disabilities is particularly pronounced in the case of women who are doubly discriminated against: on grounds of sex and illness or disability.
