Women with disabilities have a tougher time than most. They face more violence, and it's often overlooked. This isn't just a health issue. It's about fairness and rights. But for these women, the fight is harder because they deal with double discrimination.

Most research looks at abuse from partners. But what about abuse from family or caregivers? This gap makes the problem seem smaller than it is. Without good data, it's hard to know the real scale of the issue.

Women with disabilities don't get enough attention in studies. This makes it hard to see the full picture. It's time to bring this hidden problem into the light and do something about it.

Think about it. If we don't know the full story, how can we fix it? We need better research. We need to understand the different kinds of abuse these women face. Only then can we make a real difference.
