This study used in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of women with disabilities in Burkina Faso to explore how discrimination based on gender and disability intersects and influences exposure to violence, as well as the impact of such discrimination on social participation, a theme barely studied in West Africa. The study thematically analysed the narratives of 35 women with disabilities - including mental, physical, auditory and visual - (age range = 15-53), rural and urban that were collected through four focus groups and eight case stories of rape survivors. As presented in the statements of the women surveyed, the combination of stereotypes and prejudices linked to disability and unequal gender relations make these women predominantly vulnerable to gender-based violence, especially sexual violence. This increased vulnerability to sexual assault emphasises the processes of social exclusion these women experience, at all levels of society, which for most of them results in limited social participation. The findings of this study showed the need for policies related to women's empowerment and inclusion of people with disabilities to adopt an intersectional approach, to better consider the specific issues of women with disabilities.
本研究采用深入访谈的方法，对布基纳法索的残疾女性进行了多样化的抽样调查，以探讨基于性别和残疾的歧视如何相互交织并影响暴力的暴露，以及这种歧视对社会参与的影响，这是一个在西非几乎没有研究过的主题。该研究通过四个焦点小组和八个强奸幸存者的案例故事，对 35 名残疾女性（年龄范围为 15-53 岁）的叙述进行了主题分析，包括精神、身体、听觉和视觉残疾。正如调查妇女的陈述所表明的那样，与残疾和不平等性别关系相关的刻板印象和偏见的结合，使这些妇女主要容易受到基于性别的暴力，特别是性暴力的影响。这种对性侵犯的更高脆弱性强调了这些妇女在社会各层面上经历的社会排斥过程，这对她们大多数人来说，导致了有限的社会参与。本研究的结果表明，与妇女赋权和残疾人包容相关的政策需要采取交叉方法，以更好地考虑残疾妇女的具体问题。
