Abstract :

Economic growth alone will not determine the sustainability and development of any country; it is the pattern of inclusive growth and capacity building of human resources of that country. In a Beijing Review Process by Disabled Peoples� International (D.P.I.) has come up with grim information on the situation of women with disabilities. It cites a recent study conducted by Disability Rights Promotion International (D.R.P.I.), a non–governmental organization that monitors rights of persons with disabilities around the world, which states that women with disabilities in India face triple discrimination of being female, being disabled and being poor. It is now becoming recognized within women�s movements and academic gender studies that there is a triple intersection between poverty, violence, and women with disability. In India, women with disabilities, were found to be powerless, isolated, anonymous and vulnerable to abuse and violence. Their plight was worse than both, men with disabilities and women without disabilities. Women with disabilities are facing more discrimination from their family members and in society. In particular, UNCRPD Article 6 recognizes that women and girls with disability are subject to multiple discriminations and places an obligation on signatory countries to take appropriate measures to ensure that women and girls with disability enjoy fundamental freedom and human rights. To recognize UNCRPD article 6, research in this area is a need of an hour to face the present challenges, discrimination and violence against women with disabilities and to find out the intervention strategies for capacity building among women with disabilities for the promotion of inclusive growth among women with disabilities for their independent living
