Women with disabilities make up a significant proportion of the world's population, yet their experiences are often overlooked and marginalized. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 15% of the world's population lives with some form of disability, and women with disabilities are more likely to experience poverty, violence, and discrimination than non-disabled women.
