    Women are the powerful and priceless sources of the world. It is inevitablyrnimportant to provide equal rights to women on par with men in this society. Women, beingrnall-rounders face innumerable challenges in their day to day life. Predominantly, womenrnwith disabilities (WWD) are vulnerable to the situation where opportunities are deniedrnentirely. Women with disabilities are also responsible to promote the development of thernfamily, society and the country in spite of their difficulties but the troubles that they undergornare invisible and uncountable. This paper attempts to shed light on the problems faced byrnWWD and the strategies to overcome the same with self-assistance. WWD need to be awarernthat they deserve the rights to gain access for equal opportunity, live independently andrnparticipate fully in all aspects of life in an inclusive society. Various readings show thatrnpeople with disabilities in general face difficulties in entering the open labour market, butrnseen from a gender perspective, men with disabilities are almost twice more likely to havernjobs than disabled women as stated by (Reilly,2003; ILO,2007). Women with disabilities arernnot mostly accepted in the community to take up the career as they are regarded asrnincapable of overcoming the limitations. WWD possess the right to education, rehabilitation,rnlabour protection, and health care as they are the productive members of the society too.rnWWD who are exposed to violence, should unlock the handcuffs in form of emotional,rnphysical and mental disturbances by: laying emphasize on self-development, being aware ofrnthe rights of PWD, gaining the knowledge of accessible India campaign, daring to get theirrnrights etc. to become successful in their personal and professional life.
