Studies conducted in several countries have documented that women with disabilities are more vulnerable to experience gender-based violence than women without disabilities.
A total of 96 women, 45 with visual disabilities and 51 with physical disabilities, were interviewed to determine the prevalence of violence and its possible relations with socio-economic, socio-demographic and disability-related factors. Possible consequences of violence in health and psychological well-being were also analyzed.
Results showed a higher prevalence of abuse in this group of women than the estimated prevalence in the general female population in Spain. Abused women were found to have lower income and higher levels of physical dependence and family responsibilities than non-victims. In addition, violence was associated with lower levels of emotional well-being, psychological health, self-esteem and perceived social support beyond those attributable to the disability.
These results are discussed in light of some theoretical models that establish some links between disability and gender-based violence.
在多个国家开展的研究表明，残疾女性比非残疾女性更容易遭受基于性别的暴力。
对 96 名女性进行了访谈，其中 45 名视力残疾，51 名肢体残疾，以确定暴力的流行程度及其与社会经济、社会人口学和残疾相关因素的可能关系。还分析了暴力对健康和心理健康的可能后果。
结果表明，与西班牙普通女性群体的估计流行率相比，该组女性的虐待发生率更高。与非受害者相比，受虐待的女性收入较低，身体依赖性和家庭责任较高。此外，暴力与情绪健康、心理健康、自尊和感知社会支持水平降低有关，而这些因素与残疾无关。
根据一些理论模型，讨论了这些结果，这些模型在残疾和基于性别的暴力之间建立了一些联系。
