Several days ago in one of local newspaper there was a story about a 16 years girl with Mental Disabled raped by her neighbour. It happened when she looked for firewood alone in a jungle near her house. Had injured in her genital she cried and told her mother. Then her family bring this case in legal action.
The perpetrator exploited this girl’s limitation to force her do what he wants. It is no need to happen if the girl brought up with adequate acknowledge so that she can defend herself not give up to his personal persuade.
This is just one of violence occurs and women with disabilities become victim, out there a lot of violence accepted by them. They often get unwell treatments because of their disabilities. Oftentimes women with disabilities have less access to resources, education, and other opportunities, it makes them more vulnerable to poverty, exploitation, and abuse.
Many women with disabilities use the term “impairment” to refer to their individual limitations. These limitations may include blindness, deafness, conditions that make it difficult or impossible to walk or to speak, conditions that make it harder to understand or learn, and conditions that can cause seizures. A woman with a disability may move, see, hear, or learn and understand differently from a woman without a disability. She may take care of the activities of daily living differently when she communicates, eats, bathes, dresses, gets up from lying down, and
Carries or feeds her baby. Adapting to her limitations is an ordinary part of her life (Maxwell and friends, A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities).
Having disabilities mean that women can do everything as others, but they have other way to do a lot of thing. Seen as children and sick persons make them given less responsibility. It makes them get excluded from almost everything such as: social, cultural, economic, education, health care, participates in society and etc. Not because they can’t but more because they give no chance they need.
Burden of women with disabilities become more and more. Other than have disabilities they also women, that in society often deemed as second class, under men’s class. While gender equity is voiced over the worldwide they still being marginalized.
