Checklist to Support the Inclusion of Women with Disabilities in Research on Violence Against Women

FULL DOCUMENT IS ATTACHED.

There is growing recognition that women with disabilities are more vulnerable to experiencing violence than women without disabilities (see Box 1 for definition of disability). This increased risk is driven by factors linked to discrimination, stigma and other barriers that people with disabilities encounter alongside the gender discrimination that all women face (4–7). A review of seven violence prevention interventions reported that women with disabilities were twice as likely to experience intimate partner violence than women without disabilities (8). However, there is a consensus that these prevalence rates are likely to be underestimates.
