Disabled

 

Disability and poverty are intricately linked. Disability causes poverty and poverty exacerbates disability - people with disabilities are among the poorest and most vulnerable.

Disabled people
lack basic support such as access to social safety nets, education, health services, and gainful employment.

Disability issues are given low priority or are excluded from official statistics. Many forms of disability are difficult to capture in statistics, often due to under-reporting.

Disabled people are often excluded from school or the workplace and are forced to depend on others in the family and community for physical and economic support.
