Multiple Discrimination of an Ethiopian Woman with Visual Impairment
Abstract
This qualitative study employed a case study design to explore the experiences of Hewan (Pseudonym), a 28-years-old Ethiopian woman who is with a visual impairment. In order to investigate this woman’s distinct experiences, this study included two key informant interviewees in addition to her qualitative interview. She was chosen with a purposive sampling technique since she lives in Ethiopia’s capital city, Addis Ababa. The dynamic consequences of gender, poverty and disability on this young woman’s life is analyzed by applying thematic analysis. This study revealed that Hewan has experienced a number of detrimental pressures such as, internalized oppression, poverty, social marginalization and neglect, sexual discrimination, lack of access to basic necessities and poor healthcare. The results of this study demonstrated the considerable negative effects that gender and disability stereotypes have imposed on Hewan’s psycho- emotional health. The findings also highlighted the critical need for families to be sensitive to the needs of their members and for their society’s members so as to establish inclusive social environments.
