N egative attitudes in society about disability make women with disabilities vulnerable to violence and abuse. Violence and abuse can happen in many different ways.
Abuse can include threats or actions.
It can range from pushing to using weapons. No assault is mild. Even if the assault appears minor, take it seriously. It may be the beginning of a pattern of assault that becomes more serious and happens more often. S exual assault or the threat of sexual assault is also against the law, whether your husband, partner or a stranger does it.
