In the context of the 16 Days against Violence towards Women – 25 November to 10 December 2015, we would like to draw attention to a particularly vulnerable group of women who are often forgotten in both academic and public discourse when it comes to violence against women. Women with disabilities are two to three times more likely to experience violence than the average woman in the population (Schröttle/Homberg, 2013) and their experiences of violence are more complex, as they are often characterised by relationships of dependency. More on this can be found in the final project report “Zugang von Frauen mit Behinderungen zu Opferschutz- und Unterstützungseinrichtungen bei Gewalterfahrungen“.
