Domestic violence against women with disabilities

Domestic violence against women with disabilities is a serious and concerning issue that requires attention and action from society, governments, and support organizations. Women with disabilities are at a higher risk of experiencing domestic violence compared to women without disabilities. This is often due to the increased power imbalance that can exist between abusers and individuals with disabilities. Women with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to various forms of abuse due to factors such as dependency, isolation, communication barriers, and unequal power dynamics. Addressing domestic violence against women with disabilities requires a comprehensive approach that recognizes their unique challenges and ensures their safety, autonomy, and well-being. It requires a commitment from society as a whole to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals, regardless of their abilities. The present paper is an attempt by the researcher to understand the dynamics of domestic violence against women with disabilities and to propose the possible strategies to address this menace.
