This book explores the gendered experience of disability, focusing on the unique challenges faced by women with disabilities. It investigates their interactions with family, society, and medical and legal institutions, highlighting the violence, oppression, and marginalisation they endure. Women with disabilities often encounter a lack of visibility, inadequate care, and limited opportunities for socio-economic advancement. The book examines the reasons behind the stigmatisation of disabilities and neurodivergence, the denial of proper care, and the various forms of exclusion and violence these women face both within and outside their homes. It brings together the perspectives of scholars and activists to address the numerous challenges faced by women with disabilities, emphasising their fight for autonomy, respect, equality, and justice.
