Understanding women with disabilities in China in the global context

Research shows that women with disabilities (WwD) face greater disadvantages than men with disabilities or those without disabilities due gender and disability type. This study focuses on WwD in China within a global context, noting that while feminist research in China is growing, it often overlooks this group. WwD in China encounter numerous barriers related to autonomy, marriage, social support, legal protection, education, employment, and they are at a higher risk of violence.
