People with disabilities in Indonesia face numerous barriers to full participation in sports, including limited access to inclusive sports programs, inadequate facilities, and societal stigma. This paper examines the current state of disability sports in Indonesia, focusing on the legal and social frameworks that either facilitate or hinder the inclusion of people with disabilities in athletic activities. It highlights key initiatives and programs that aim to promote inclusivity, such as community-based sports programs and government-backed initiatives. The study also explores the legal protections available to athletes with disabilities and the challenges that persist in creating equal opportunities in sports. Through interviews with athletes, coaches, and policymakers, the paper proposes recommendations to improve accessibility, raise awareness, and promote disability justice in Indonesian sports.
