International Day of the Disabled
 
(2)
 
 

Wednesday 3  December 2008

While there is scanty collated information on gender based violence and disability, it is evident that women are more susceptible to domestic violence and rape in particular and other forms of violence than men with disabilities and people without disabilities. Further, women with disabilities are stigmatised and marginalised both in the home and communities, and consequently are further exposed to increased risks and experiences of violence.
