Women with disabilities face dual discrimination
Women with disabilities face a dual discrimination in Palestinian society and their families and the government are failing to protect them, experts say.
``International Labour Organisation states that women are at an increased risk of becoming disabled, throughout their lives due to neglect in healthcare, poor workplace conditions and gender-based violence,'' the city-based Association for Women and Disabilities said quoting an ILO 2001 census, the Association said that there were nearly 93 lakh women with disabilities in India, while a 2007 World Bank study has estimated the number at four crore.
