Empower Women with disability | World Disability Day 2020 | Living with disability for a woman www.wahwoman.in The challenges of living with a physical disability are beyond imagination for normal humans and not easy to deal with. Sadly, it becomes, even more, tougher for women living with disabilities due to societal prejudices, holding stereotypical gender perspectives, and in certain parts of World, from a safety point of view too. Women with disabilities face significantly more difficulties – in both public and private spheres – in attaining access to adequate housing, health, education, vocational training, and employment, and are more likely to be treated like a liability by family members. on International Day for persons with a disability, meet Seema Chopra, living with paraplegia for three decades, 70% disabled, in India. Nevertheless, her determination to live life, positive attitude, and work towards society kept her alive!

It’s time that all of us see gender as a spectrum as an alternative of two units of opposing beliefs.” – Emma Watson
Let’s close gender gaps in all spheres and dimensions-Social, Cultural, Political, Economic Education, Workforce, Promotion & Position, Leadership, Pay & Wages, Division of Labour, Health, Domestic Responsibilities, Safety & Security- create equal opportunities everywhere.
#GenderEquality is key to accelerate sustainable development in a progressive society. Having a balanced view always yields greater results- be it home, society, or workplace which comes from having perspectives from male and female leaders to ensure that men and women have an equal chance to contribute both at home and in the workplace, thereby enhancing their well-being and that of society.
