Body Image, Gender, and Disability in Chinese Community Services

Body image and gender expectations significantly affect self-identity, especially for women with disabilities in China. Cultural views and beauty standards can cause feelings of inadequacy and depression among disabled women and girls. This research looks at inspiring projects, such as inclusive drama and portrait exhibitions, run by organizations like the Beijing Enable Sister Center. These initiatives empower disabled women, boost their self-esteem, and challenge societal stereotypes.
