Abstract
Research in disability studies fail to highlight how the concepts of disability, gender and the underlying dynamics of power skillfully intersect and cast an irrefutable impact on each other. Gender inequality and injustice assume discriminative forms for women, often resulting in denial of sexuality and sexual rights, disparity, increasing violence and abuse. This paper addresses the problem of sexual assault of women with disabilities in the Indian context, highlighting loopholes in the Indian legal system and suggesting possible strategies to reinstall their position in a community-based rehabilitation setting.
