Just like ableism focuses on discrimination against people with disabilities, caregiver discrimination highlights the challenges and biases faced by those who take on caregiving responsibilities.
Ensuring fair compensation for distress endured requires a multifaceted approach that acknowledges the complex and varied impacts of emotional suffering on individuals’ lives.
