Conclusions
God has made everyone equal and laws of the land also call for equal rights but the issue of disabled people in general and disabled women of in particular is a serious departure from this basic right. There are many issues that disabled women face but the issue of their sexuality is generally brushed under the carpet as they are stereotyped as asexual. The also suffer abuses because of lack of education or lack of rules and regulation in the institutional facilities. The role of parent and immediate family is crucial as they should help them develop as a normal being instead of suppressing their sexualities. Society should play its role and activists must highlight such issues. Their basic right of loving and being loved should not be snatched at any cost.
