Description
Summary:The study addresses the reality of gender violence in women with functional diversity (dis-ability). It aims to make visible the situation of women with functional diversity who face gender violence in multiple ways, analyze their situation, needs and obstacles to learn how they face in the course of their lives both within the private sphere and in The public one. The combination of these two constructs conditions them and limits them to greater dependence and social invisibility. A qualitative methodology is carried out through discussion groups (G.D) with women with physical and sensory D.F. Empowerment is a key aspect for women with functional diversity to become aware of the relevance of their lives and thus have the management of their stories and life experiences.
