Disability is a conundrum that we all experience at some given point in our lives but don't always understand while there are some people who are born disabled, some experience disability when they are youngest most of us become familiar with it later on in life as we age. It is well known fact that disabled people have been a repressed as well as an oppressed group. They have been isolated, stigmatized, institutionalized and also written about. It is widely known that people with disabilities face multiple hurdles in their fight for Equality. Also the effects of social exclusion that both genders face is profound. Although both men and women with disability are subject to discrimination, women are at a further advantage. Women with disability face double discrimination because they face both disability limitations and also gender discrimination. My research paper highlights the different barriers faced by disabled women in Odisha and India. It describes exclusion, discrimination, violence, unemployment and various obstacles that each disabled person faces in their whole life. The study also has emphasized to explore the ways uot to bring them into the main stream. It has also described different schemes of central Government and state Government for the uplifting of disabled women and bring them to mainstream. Historically Persons with disabilities (PWDs) are remain in the margin of society.They remained an excluded agenda in all aspects of the development process. This paper also deals with the evolution of the policies framework and concerning approaches that have turned from charity and address the rights of PWDs throughout the country and different policies which are being made for the development of PWDs.
