I have came tolearn that there are various conventions and organizations that advocate and protet therights of people with disability despite their gender. For instance the Rights of PersonswithDisabilitiesandtheEconomicandSocialCouncilprovidespecialcareforpregagnat women and older women that have disabilities. At the same time theyengage in acts of defeinsing women’s freedom from possibile situations of abuse.
