Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 95

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Most States lack a specific and comprehensive law, policy or programme on persons with disabilities in general or on women with disabilities in particular. States that have a disability law do not specifically address the rights of women with disabilities in general, or violence specifically. States may also have a specific law on violence against women that generally provides remedies for all women, within a non-discriminatory framework. Unfortunately, such laws are not effectively implemented in respect of women with disabilities.
