Empowerment of Women with Disabilities

Women with disabilities face double discrimination — for their gender and their disability.

ADD India ensures they are no longer left behind.

We:

  • Create safe spaces and peer groups for women to share experiences and build solidarity.

  • Provide training in leadership, entrepreneurship, and livelihoods.

  • Address issues of gender-based violence and access to justice.

  • Enable women with disabilities to take leadership roles in OPDs and community platforms.


By empowering women with disabilities, we unlock powerful agents of change who strengthen families, communities, and the movement for inclusion.
