Advocating for Change at the Intersection of Gender and Disability

In Nepal, blind women face significant barriers to marriage and increased risks of abandonment and abuse post-union. In “Crossroads,” DJP Fellow Sita Sah delves into the personal narratives of blind women across Nepal. Her interviews reveal not only experiences of hardship and despair but stories of hope and survival. Sah highlights the lives of two mothers who, after being left by their husbands, have found ways to thrive and support themselves and their children. She also talks with a renowned singer who chose solitude over the prospect of marriage-induced violence or dependency. Beyond individual stories, “Crossroads” shines a spotlight on the collective efforts of activists striving for systemic change.
