ABSTRACT This study builds on discussions surrounding the rights of persons with disabilities. It investigates complex issues of discrimination, impairment, and the right to live with dignity. This study used survey to gather many views on the lives of people with disabilities. A purposive sampling method selected participants who could provide details on discrimination and dignity. The sample size was 150 individuals. This group included people of different ages, genders, economic backgrounds, and disabilities. The results show that widespread discrimination remains a large barrier to dignity. Many participants reported feeling marginalized in public spaces. They also encountered subtle forms of ableism that hurt their self-worth. The investigation reveals that societal views and structural inequality affect their quality of life. A large proportion of respondents said negative attitudes often lead to isolation and depression. This finding proves the need for systemic change. This research illustrates that the right to dignity for disabled individuals is not a minor issue. Society must integrate this right into core discussions on human rights. The implications of these findings extend far beyond the immediate context of the study. They highlight the urgent necessity for policy reform that prioritizes accessibility and inclusion at all levels of society. Particularly, the discourse around implementing models that enhance empowerment and assert the rights of individuals with disabilities is essential; such approaches are crucial in redefining how society perceives and interacts with disabled individuals. The originality of this research lies in its focus not only on the legal frameworks surrounding disability rights but also on the lived experiences of individuals, providing a nuanced understanding that is often overlooked in academic discourse. the study contributes to the broader body of knowledge by elucidating the intrinsic struggles faced by persons with disabilities, ultimately serving as a call to action for policymakers, educators, and advocates. Key words: Persons with Disabilities, Discrimination, Impairment, dignity, right to live
