Words matter. Especially in media and online spaces, the words we use about disability can uplift or they can stigmatise.
To address this, the Content Forum has put forward its draft of guidelines on disability-inclusive language, which is now open for public feedback.
Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris talks to Mediha Mahmood, the chief executive of the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum, and Hasbeemasputra Abu Bakar, a community engagement and lived experience advocate with Siuman, a disability rights collective led by people with psycho-social disabilities.
