Understanding Dwarfism:

Dwarfism is a medical condition defined by an adult height of 4 feet 10

inches or shorter, usually due to genetic or medical factors affecting bone

development. Beyond physical challenges such as mobility limitations and

associated health complications, people with Dwarfism often face deep-rooted

social barriers, including discrimination, stigma, and a general lack of

awareness about their needs. These challenges frequently lead to neglect in

crucial areas such as education, employment, healthcare, and social support.

Challenges Faced by People with Dwarfism in Tamil Nadu:

In Tamil Nadu and across India, people with Dwarfism are often overlooked by society and

government alike. Unlike other disabilities, Dwarfism is frequently excluded from programs offering

educational opportunities, vocational training, and employment support. As a result, many individuals with

Dwarfism finds themselves with few options for employment outside of the entertainment industry. They are

often limited to roles in movies and public shows that exploit their physical stature for humor, reinforcing

negative stereotypes and exposing them to ridicule. This narrow representation restricts their ability to lead

dignified, economically independent lives.
