Help-seeking among women with disabilities who experience domestic violence in Uganda: evidence from UDHS 2006, 2011, and 2016

Abstract

Employment and older age emerged as important enablers of help-seeking among women with disabilities who are experiencing domestic violence. Strengthening and implementing age-appropriate and inclusive labour policies that promote economic participation and awareness of support services for women with disabilities may enhance their access to domestic violence services in Uganda and similar low-resource settings.
