Domestic violence and disability

Majority of disables people especially women are affected by domestic violence, if they are not accepted in the society where they live.

The violence experienced by PWD is not specifically physical, it involves denying the monetary benefits which other group of people in same position are enjoying in the society. Domestic violence can also cause

Stalking

Name calling and being put down

Economic depreciation

Threats of violence

Sexual or/and emotional abuse

Intimidation

Physical violence

Its a sad reality.

The unfortunate thing is when it happens to pwds who are non verbal and unable to express themselves when they go through such violence

Its unfortunate that these things happen and the society is yet to put its foot down on such happenings. I feel for women with disabilities who experience these acts at home where they seek refuge but sadly its also a place where these violations are triggered.

Advocacy against domestic violence, more so violence against women with disabilities will help. Nothing positive, however small, is in vain.

Yes, these types of problems faced many of them

Nice

Lack of awareness
