English term or phrase: ableism
Definition from Merriam-Webster:
Discrimination or prejudice against individuals with disabilities.

Example sentence(s):
  • Last week a more graphic form of racism, and ableism, took place at the debating society. As has emerged from eyewitness reports and shaky camera footage, postgraduate student Ebenezer Azamati, a visually impaired black student, was dragged out of the chamber by his ankles. HuffingtonPost
  • I’m using the language of ‘disabled people’ here in line with a social model of disability which recognises that people with impairments are disabled by society through the effects of ableist attitudes and systems rather than the functioning of people’s minds, bodies and senses. Open Democracy
  • Ableist social habits can be as profound a barrier in the workplace as stairs and narrow doorways. Paying attention to these habits can be the difference between mere nondiscrimination and actually giving disabled people both the physical and emotional space to excel and bring maximum value to the organizations they work for.

শারীরিক প্রতিবন্ধী নয় এ ধরনের ব্যক্তির প্রতি পক্ষপাত করা


Definition from own experience or research:
প্রস্তাবিত প্রতিবন্ধী আইনে শারীরিক প্রতিবন্ধী নয় এ ধরনের ব্যক্তির প্রতি সুস্পষ্ট পক্ষপাত করা হয়েছে

Example sentence(s):
  • প্রস্তাবিত প্রতিবন্ধী আইনে শারীরিক প্রতিবন্ধী নয় এ ধরনের ব্যক্তির প্রতি সুস্পষ্ট পক্ষপাত করা হয়েছে - Own experience 

Explanation:
There is no exact translation (either literal or idiomatic) available for this term. I have suggested one with an idiomatic expression. We can certainly think of a better, shorter alternative, but in my view the suggested expression reflects the source better than the other suggestion.

Because, if we say সক্ষম, as suggested by Md. Masud, it may mean all kinds of "capability" issues including physical, mental, psychological etc. For this term, we have to connote specifically the "able-bodied" part, which clearly has a "physical" element. Hence, I believe my suggested translation accurately reflects the source term.

সক্ষমের প্রতি পক্ষপাত


Definition from own experience or research:
সক্ষমের প্রতি পক্ষপাত বলতে বুঝায় প্রতিবন্ধিত্ব সম্পন্ন ব্যক্তিদের বিপক্ষে সক্ষম ব্যক্তিদের প্রতি পক্ষপাত প্রদর্শন করা। ইংরেজি শব্দের সঙ্গে মিল রেখে একে 'সক্ষমের প্রতি পক্ষপাত' হিসাবে অনুবাদ করা যেতে পারে।

Example sentence(s):
  • সক্ষমের প্রতি পক্ষপাতের কারণে সমাজে দুর্বলেরা নানা ধরনের শোষণের শিকার হয়ে থাকে। - Own sentence
