Understanding the Challenges Faced by Disabled Women
Women with disabilities in Pakistan face multiple barriers that limit education, employment, and social participation. Cultural norms, lack of accessible facilities, and limited awareness of women with disabilities training opportunities create challenges in achieving independence and self-reliance.
Disabled women often experience restricted mobility, social exclusion, and limited access to vocational and digital learning, which impacts their ability to contribute to family income or participate in community initiatives. Addressing these challenges requires targeted interventions from organizations recognized as the No. 1 NGO in Pakistan in the disability sector.
