No woman should feel that abuse is something she must accept simply because she depends on someone else for care, financial support, mobility, or access to basic needs. And no woman should ever believe that having a disability makes her less deserving of safety, dignity, respect, and opportunity.
Yet for many women with disabilities, barriers to inclusion and economic opportunity can make it more difficult to speak out, seek support, or move away from situations of violence and exploitation.
We want to help change that.
And change begins when we choose to look beyond disability and recognize the woman herself.
So when you see a woman with a disability, don't see her limitations.
See her strength. See her courage. See her talent. See her dreams. See her possibilities.
See a woman who can learn a skill, build a livelihood, contribute to her family, participate in her community, and make meaningful decisions about her own future—when given the opportunity.
Your support can help create pathways toward greater safety, confidence, inclusion, economic empowerment, and self-reliance. It can help ensure that women with disabilities are not only protected from violence but also supported to build lives in which they have greater choices and opportunities.
Stand with her today. Believe in her potential. Invest in her possibilities.
Because protecting a woman from violence is important. Helping her build the confidence and independence to shape her own future can be transformative.
Donate today—and help give possibility a chance.
