Technology offers incredible, life changing opportunities to people with disabilities… but only if they can use them. Otherwise, the discrimination they already face could only get worse.

Season 3 of All Things Equal: Digital Divides: We live in an age of disruption. Technology has reshaped all aspects of life on the planet. Every advance offers exciting possibilities, but also unintended consequences. Traditional social structures are being challenged, remade or destroyed, for better or worse. Human rights are not immune to the challenges posed by our new tech-defined reality.
