The disabled woman is faced with a lot of challenges in society. Despite that, she remains strong given that she pays the price first for being a woman and second for being a disabled woman. All she is armed with in this difficult and problematic journey for survival is her self-confidence and self-contentment. The disabled woman’s family also plays an important role in building her personality and improving her life conditions.
