rokkantsági

Rokkantsági is a Hungarian term that translates to "disability" or "handicap" in English. It refers to a state of reduced physical, mental, sensory, or intellectual functioning that can limit an individual's ability to participate fully in society. This limitation may arise from congenital conditions, accidents, illnesses, or age-related changes. The concept of rokkantsági encompasses not only the individual's impairments but also the societal barriers they may encounter, such as inaccessibility in public spaces, discrimination, or lack of adequate support services.

In Hungary, legal and social frameworks are in place to address rokkantsági. These frameworks often involve assessment processes to determine the degree of disability and eligibility for various forms of state support, including financial benefits, rehabilitation services, and special accommodations. The goal is to promote the inclusion and equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities, enabling them to live independent lives and contribute to their communities. The definition and classification of rokkantsági can evolve over time, reflecting changes in medical understanding, societal attitudes, and international conventions on the rights of persons with disabilities.
