Abstract:
This Current Issue chronicles the narratives of women living with disabilities in a rural community in South Africa. The emerging insights demonstrate that women with disabilities are trapped in perceptions that give rise to hierarchies of invisibility. To shift them from invisibility to visibility, this article acknowledges the intersectionality of gender, culture and disability. It is deemed suitable for policy makers to create platforms for the voices of women with disabilities to be heard so as to ensure systemic change.
Keywords:
disability; hierarchies of invisibility; intersectionality discourse; lived experiences; rural women
