Barrier Remover's Circle

English to Japanese Medical Medical: Health Care
This is one membership option in an organization to help people with disabilities.

The type of "barrier" in this instance is as described in the paragraph below:

For many Americans with disabilities, however, barriers in their communities take away or severely limit their choices. These barriers may be obvious, such as lack of ramped entrances for people who use wheelchairs, lack of interpreters or captioning for people with hearing impairments, lack of brailled or taped copies of printed material for people who have visual impairments. Other barriers--frequently less obvious--can be even more limiting to efforts on the part of people with disabilities to live independently, and they result from misunderstandings and prejudices about disability. These barriers result in low expectations about things people with disabilities can achieve.

Thanks in advance!

バリアフリーサークル

「バリア除去」とすると誤解が生じる恐れがあるので、形式よりも意味を重視して、「バリアフリー」とした方がよりわかりやすいかと思います。「バリアフリー」という言葉は日本人にとってもなじみの深い言葉になりつつあります。

意味としては、「バリアフリー化を目指すサークル」あるいは「バリアフリー推進サークル」といったところでしょう。

文脈次第では、サークルをグループとしてもいいでしょう。
