The digital world is still not a fully inclusive place. In a global study last year from the Institute of Digital Fashion, 60% of people said there was a lack of inclusivity in digital spheres, which can lead to the marginalization of certain communities such as those with disabilities

Adding to this issue is that social media and the rise of virtual influencers (computer-generated digital characters) can perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards and further reduce visibility for the differently abled.
