Abstract
Introduction: Disability is a condition that affects the quality of life of people, if the one who is affected is a woman, this affectation can become more limiting. In view of the limited literature and the need to know the current situation for intervention purposes, the following study is carried out; Objectives: To know the perception of women with disabilities taking into account those aspects that contribute to their integral and inclusive development; Methods: A qualitative analysis of the data was carried out using the NVivo 12 programme by means of an ad hoc open questionnaire; Results: Rural and urban women are more concerned about their self-determination and inclusion, both dimensions stand out independently of the type of disability; while those who live in intermediate places besides self-determination are concerned about their personal development, rights and physical well-being. Differences have been found according to age, with emotional wellness being a dimension to take into account as the woman advances in her life cycle; Conclusions: It is necessary to raise awareness among the population, as well as to provide both resources and spaces that allow women with disabilities greater empowerment and truly inclusive participation.
