Happy International Women’s Day!!! Today is about celebrating the achievements of all women and working towards complete gender equality. I am very proud to be a young women who is rocking life with cerebral palsy. However women with disabilities still face many challenges across the globe. According to the United Nations children and young people living with a disability often go without a proper education, with only 5 percent world wide getting this opportunity. Out of these girls face the most significant barriers in accessing education. Women with disabilities are also less likely to be employed and are more likely to face unequal hiring and promotional standards. As well as these issues disabled women also face difficulties in securing proper housing and health services. So there is a long way to go in securing gender equality for women living with disabilities. Today however let’s try focusing on ability, work to educate others of these problems and celebrate all the lovely ladies in our lives. #internationalwomensday #iwd2016 #socialissues #raisingawareness -- source link
