Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Discrimination in access to services and programmes during incarceration is a reality for most women with disabilities. They may face difficulties in accessing these because such programmes fail to account for their disabilities; or they may be explicitly denied the ability to participate in programmes, which are largely tailored to prisoners without disabilities. Furthermore, women with disabilities who are able to participate in work programmes are often paid lower wages for their work.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences
