Abstract. Gender equality is a demand in all societies and is a key goal of all of us, as well as
the integration of people with disabilities and especially women. This article reports on the
prevailing situation of women with disabilities in society, how to deal with them and how to
eliminate their exclusion and accept them as equal citizens in society.
Keywords. Gender Equality, disability, Women, ADHD, Comorbidity, Exclusion, Inclusion
1.1 Introduction
According to UN spokeswoman Elizabeth Lockwood, people with disabilities are
implicitly included in all SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) such as Objective 4 which
states that it's necessary to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote
lifelong learning opportunities for all , that if could be implemented our world will become
more equal for all people regardless of age, gender, disability, race, nationality, origin, religion
or economic or another status.
It is well known that all kinds of people with disabilities, women, girls, men, boys, face
discrimination and exclusion in education, employment, services, and most of the time are not
included in development programs aimed at the integration of people with disabilities or gender
equality [1].
2. Gender and Disability
Women with disabilities are considered doubly marginalized because of their
disability and gender.
Girls and women with disabilities are:
* more frequent victims of violence, sexual abuse and trafficking
* often in social isolation due to attitudes, prejudices and stereotypes
* are at increased risk of poverty due to their exclusion or limited access due to disability
in the labor market and on account of this consequence women with disabilities and
mothers of children with disabilities are the first victims of financial misery in times of
economic crisis
