This piece looks into how common violence is. It also checks what makes these women more likely to face violence. Women with disabilities are more at risk. They face violence more than other women. This is true in Nepal and around the world. The reasons are many. Lack of support is one. Society's attitude is another. These women often feel alone. They may not have anyone to turn to. This makes them easy targets. The types of violence they face are many. Physical abuse is one. Sexual abuse is another. Emotional abuse is also common. These women may also face neglect. They might be ignored or left out. This can hurt them just as much as physical abuse. Many things make this violence worse. Poverty is one factor. Lack of education is another. Society's views also play a big role. Many people see disabled women as weak. This makes it easier for others to hurt them. It also makes it harder for them to speak up. This is a big problem. But it is not talked about enough. More people need to know about it. More needs to be done to help these women. They deserve to live safe lives. They deserve to be treated with respect. It is time to make this happen.
