I am a woman with multiple disabilities working as an Assistant Professor in the government sector. For the past 30 months, my Principal and a group of colleagues have been avoiding, excluding, and harassing me because of my disability. They laugh at me and tease me on the basis of my disability. I have submitted several complaints and representations to various authorities, including the Minister, the Chief Secretary, and the Disability Commission. However, no effective action has been taken. I feel completely frustrated and have started having negative thoughts about my life.
If you are facing disability-based harassment despite repeated complaints, preserve all evidence, including complaints, emails, and witness details. You may pursue remedies under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 and approach the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution if authorities have failed to act. Since you mentioned having negative thoughts about your life, please also seek immediate support from a trusted person or a mental health professional. Your safety is important.
