Download or read book Disabled Women in the Working World written by Valerie Novack and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are over 20 million adult women with disabilities in the noninstitutionalized population in the United States. However, the career options and trajectories of women with disabilities are under-researched. Disabled women have the lowest employment rate among disabled and non-disabled men and women in the same age bracket. In comparison to non-disabled women, disabled women do not have the same career options. Non-disabled women are more likely to work in managerial and full time fields whereas disabled women tend to work part time and in service positions. This study looks at businesses' hiring and promotion practices that impact disabled women and the opportunities disabled women have to take on leadership roles. To further understand how we can increase the number of disabled women in leadership roles, we surveyed 445 hiring professionals to gain insight into their hiring practices, business offerings, and disability representation within their organizations. The study found that 44% of the total participants had no women with disabilities in leadership or management positions. In 52% of cases, respondents estimated they had at least one woman with a disability in management. Respondents indicated concerns about hiring disabled people, such as absenteeism and safety. Yet few organizations have adjusted their policies to better support flexible scheduling or increase workplace safety. According to participants, problem-solving, teamwork, professionalism, confidence and determination, and dependability represented the top five skills needed by disabled women candidates to be hired or promoted. However, mentorship, paid trainings, and skill building opportunities were only offered to employees in less than 20% of survey responses. The respondents who have no women with disabilities in management positions indicated the need for partnerships with agencies working with disabled talent and increased education on the benefits of hiring disabled women. Nearly half of all participants indicated that tax incentives would motivate them to hire women with disabilities into leadership positions, however there was minimal awareness of existing financial incentives for hiring women with disabilities, such as tax credits.Disability EmpowHer Network, in partnership with P3 Technology, conducted this study to better understand barriers to leadership for women with disabilities. Disability EmpowHer Network is a non-profit run by and for girls and women with disabilities that connects, motivates, and guides disabled girls and women to grow, learn, and develop to their highest potential and have the confidence to lead.

Download or read book Women and Disability written by Mary Jo Deegan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The special needs of women with disabilities have been disregarded in a wide variety of vital areas. Issues pertain to women as wives and mothers. Studies of the effects on female sexuality of such conditions as renal disease and diabetes are lacking, though the sexual functioning of men with these diseases has been researched. On the economic front, the Federal-State Vocational Rehabilitation system and the regulations concerning disability benefits under Social Security provide less adequately for women than for men. Hopefully, this volume will raise the consciousness of its readers to the special status of women with disabilities as a minority group experiences multiple sources of discriminations.

This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on rich empirical work emerging from core conflict regions within the island nation of Sri Lanka, this book illustrates the critical role that women with disabilities play in post-armed conflict rebuilding and development. This pathbreaking book shows the critical role that women with disabilities play in post-armed conflict rebuilding and development. Through offering a rare yet important insight into the processes of gendered-disability advocacy activation within the post-conflict environment, it provides a unique counter narrative to the powerful images, symbols and discourses that too frequently perpetuate disabled women’s so-called need for paternalistic forms of care. Rather than being the mere recipients of aid and help, the narratives of women with disabilities reveal the generative praxis of social solidarity and cohesion, progressed via their nascent collective practices of gendered-disability advocacy. It will be of interest to academics and students working in the fields of disability studies, gender studies, post-conflict studies, peace studies and social work.
