Conclusion:  Violence against women with disabilities shares common 
characteristics
with violence against women in general, but has unique dimensions as 
well.  Violence
against women with disabilities is often an act that is perpetrated 
against what is
perceived to be a "faulty being" and is a demonstration of a socially 
acceptable form of 11
power and control over a woman's body and mind.  Lack of respect for 
their personhood
and discrimination against persons on the basis of their physical or 
mental disabilities is
an act of violence in itself, and generates intense frustration in 
the person who
experiences the discrimination.  When we factor in discrimination on 
the grounds of
gender, the extent of discrimination and violence perpetrated against 
women with
disabilities is unacceptable and intolerable.  It is incumbent on a 
progressive society to do
everything in its power to put an end to it.
