Dear Kanchan, Congratulations. Of course, you are the right woman to represent all.
I agree with Murali that all women empowerment programmes must have disability element in their budgetary allocation. Besides that, women should be given preferential treatment in rural employment gurantee schemes and should be awarded special leave for 6 months at the time of maternity. (Presently, only few establishments are honouring this). Besides, the plan should make some allocation to compensate them if they give employment to disabled women with cresh facilities for their children. Of course, may write more.
