Violence against Women with Disabilities

Summary/Abstract: Available research classifies disability as a risk factor for exposure to violence and degrading treatment. Among people with disabilities, women are a group particularly vulnerable to violence. The purpose of the article is to show that violence against women with disabilities is of a different nature than violence against women without disabilities, or against men with disabilities. The causes of violence against this group are related to a range of cultural, political and socio-economic factors and are rooted in social norms about the nature and type of disability and gender roles. These causes cannot be analysed in isolation, because only by bringing out their intersectional complexity can the specificity of the phenomenon be revealed.
