Domestic and Sexual Abuse Strategy and Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy
“One in two disabled women are in an abusive relationship yet it is never mentioned. Disabled women earn 22% less than non-disabled men and it is never mentioned.

These are all issues that make the lives of disabled women harder”.
