Universal Accesibility and Design for All from a gender perspective

Abstract

Being a disabled woman today presents an added challenge when considered in light of the many different types of women of today´s society. Although politics in this area ought to be specific, one vital necessity unites women with and without disabilities: to emerge as fulfilled women in a world that is too often hostile, where every type of service related to information technology and communication, physical environments, etc., becomes nothing when the principal premise is disregarded, to create designs that take every person into account. For this reason, we present this reflection about the current situation and the actions required to achieve equal opportunities for disabled women.
