D
Disability
Inborn or assigned characteristics of an individual that may prevent full participation in educational, social, economic, political, religious, institutional or formal activities of a group, or that may require accommodation to enable full participation.  Visible disabilities are readily apparent and consequent discrimination or stigma may be more predicable than with invisible disabilities which are not immediately apparent.  Persons with disabilities form one of the designated groups in employment equity programs.  An important aspect of this definition is voluntary self-identification.
