THE PROBLEM OF ABLEISM AS A NEGATIVE WORLDVIEW OF SOCIETY

In essence, ableism as a sociocultural phenomenon reflects society's individual and social attitudes, which leads to the devaluation of the legal status of individuals and restrictions in the implementation of their constitutional rights and freedoms, which determines the socio-legal significance of the chosen topic. This work aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the ontology of human rights from the point of view of international standards and foreign sources. To achieve this objective, the author attempted to determine the historical origin of ableism as a social phenomenon, its legal nature and its main types, and to point out scientific assumptions to combat discrimination. The research employed the following methods: logical, formal-legal, and system analysis. Based on the results, the author identified current theoretical and empirical problems of ableism and developed his understanding of the legal protection of the rights and fundamental freedoms of people with disabilities. This work presents a systemic and comprehensive examination of what societies consider discrimination against people with disabilities and its legal consequences. It expands the understanding and significance of ensuring constitutional guarantees for citizens and draws attention to the social difficulties of people with disabilities.
