The disabled community is frequently associated with feelings of empathy, dependence, and constant aid. It is unfortunate that the notion of 'disabled' itself is often restricted to physical deformity, thereby, neglecting the other forms of disability. Accompanied with institutional barriers such as poverty and gender, disability exacerbates the existing living conditions for the disabled community. This paper shall focus on the intersection of disability, poverty, and gender in light of 'The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016' using judicial pronouncements, statutory provisions, and scholarly works. It shall further expound on the discrepancies in the provisions and highlight the ineffectiveness of the Act. Lastly, the paper will provide possible solutions to ameliorate the status of impoverished, disabled women.
