WWDs face historical\u00a0 exclusion and multiple deprivations in all spheres of life and also in development endeavors. People do not comprehend disability from a social and human rights perspective. The family or the community considers disability as a disease and\u00a0 illness that even disables the productivity and their capacity. The\u00a0 generally perceived thinking is that disability is a result of sin they committed in their previous life. As a result, WWDs are facing double discrimination (gender and disability) or even more when other forms of\u00a0 discrimination such as caste or geographical remoteness is coupled with. Disability has been a major cause to prevent WWDs from\u00a0 getting married which leads them to face social stigma. Despite the high potentialities and capacity WWDs possess, they face difficulty to be\u00a0 accepted that they can also contribute to the building of family and society.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multiple discrimination: Gender identity, disability and poverty.
