Abstract
Persons with disabilities represent 1 billion, or 15% of global population, vast majority lies in developing countries. Women and girls with disabilities are subjected to multiple layers of discrimination. Unemployment rates are highest among women with disabilities. Studies show that women and girls with disabilities are twice as likely to experience gender based violence compared to women and girls without disabilities. There are only few organizations who are working selflessly for the empowerment of disable people. In most of household it’s the female member who takes care of the disable person, as man due to so called hegemonic masculinity they do not care the person as the female do, also female by the inherent nature of this patriarchal society is always known as the care taker ; sometimes paid and sometimes unpaid. As in the society the ethics of care responsibility only holds maximum time by the women. In the rural area instead of the human rights model of disability they still follow the religious model, by which it is seen that lacking the scientific temper in the rural areas they don’t get the medical treatment in the initial stage.
