ABSTRACT
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic poses a significant threat to the whole society. In crisis situations such as a pandemic, disadvantaged and neglected groups are more affected. Disabled women are also among the risk groups for COVID-19. Aim: This review aims to reveal the problems experienced by disabled women due to the COVID-19 pandemic and to offer the suggestion for their solutions. Methodology: The literature reviewed examined and Popular data bases such as Pubmed, Medline, and Sciencedirect and corporate websites such as WHO, UN, and UNESCO were also used. Results: Disabled women have faced a number of challenges that will constrain them during the COVID-19 pandemic. Problems such as lack of education, economic difficulties, social exclusion, discrimination, inequality, lack of access to resources, neglect, abuse and violence experienced by disabled women are more common during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The priority needs should be determined and cooperation between sectors should be established in order to solve these problems. The awareness studies should be carried out on the effects of the pandemic on disabled women and their rights, and more effective initiatives should be taken to address the problems experienced.
