500 _aWhat Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls Evidence Review, September 2017
520 _aWomen and girls with disabilities are at increased risk of violence, abuse, neglect, maltreatment, and exploitation both because of their gender and their disabilities. Women with disabilities are at least twice as likely as nondisabled women to be victims of rape, sexual abuse and intimate partner violence (IPV). While all children with disabilities are at a higher risk for various forms of violence when compared to children without disabilities – including sexual violence, bullying, and physical violence – girls with disabilities are more likely to experience physical and sexual violence than boys with disabilities. Meanwhile, experiences of violence by all women and girls can have significant, long-term impact on both their physical and mental health. Thus, the relationship between disability and violence is reciprocal as disability enhances the risk of violence, while violence itself can lead to (or increase the severity of) disabilities.
