Gender and disability ppt

Persons with disabilities are affected differently by their gender, as disabilities impact women more than men due to social and cultural roles. Discriminatory cultural practices regarding property inheritance and ownership adversely affect women with disabilities' livelihoods more than men. Inadequate programs that do not focus enough on the specific needs of women with disabilities during service delivery make it difficult for them to access healthcare, education, and other services. A lack of public awareness and negative attitudes along with an absence of gender-specific programs remain challenges for women with disabilities.
