Women with leprosy related disabilities face ‘triple jeopardy’ in the communities they live due to disability, poverty and discrimination on account of stigma attached to leprosy. Stigma attached to leprosy deprives them of certain human rights such as respect for home and family as guaranteed under article 23 of the CRPD. We are committed to protecting women with leprosy related disabilities from becoming victims of domestic violence. .
