“…Older women are in general easily victimized and cannot defend themselves due to their reduced mobility and physical impairment ( Block, 1983 ). In addition, Arstein-Kerslake (2019) and Scully (2014) affirmed that disabled women are at greater risk of experiencing specific types of harm or being a victim of hate crime or abuse.…”

“…The utilization of these tactics, according to Crowley (2022) , could place a heavy burden on the female victim based on the particular features of the setting and the characteristics of the victim. This is the vulnerability that is contingent on an inaccessible environment ( Arstein-Kerslake, 2019 ).…”

“…Whilst it might not be possible for changes in the social environment to fully negate the impairment-related inherent vulnerabilities from the lives of disabled people, contingent vulnerabilities could, in principle at least, always be altered ( Scully, 2014 ; Arstein-Kerslake, 2019 ). Thus, to eliminate her vulnerability, Zora described her decision not to “get on the train again on [her] own for the rest of [her] life” ; this decision restricted Zora’s autonomy by limiting her independence in traveling alone.…”

This paper explores the experiences and perceptions of Zora, an older Muslim woman living with a disability in the UK. Older disabled Muslim women in the UK often face multiple discriminations based on disability, age, gender, religious, and racial grounds and this has arguably been intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on multiple narrative interviews with Zora, this paper focuses on the intersections of disability, ageing, gender, race and religion within a particular social context during the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. The paper describes the complex ways in which Zora experienced various modes of everyday disablism which were not related to the COVID-19 virus itself, rather the consequences of the movement restrictions associated with it. Much of the oppression and barriers she described were socially determined, both through direct discrimination, stares and prejudicial attitudes, and indirectly through stigmatization and an embodied fear of the reaction of others in public spaces. Nevertheless, Zora did not present herself as a victim. Instead she portrayed herself in affirmative terms, as a ‘brave’ woman who resisted and overcame daily social challenges and movement restrictions as part of working toward creating a more accessible, inclusive and age-friendly society. One that is inhabitable for herself and other older disabled women facing an uncertain future.

“…These barriers include discrimination, lack of access to education and training, and societal attitudes that perpetuate their exclusion. As a result, women with disabilities are often relegated to low-paying, informal jobs that offer little protection or security (Arstein-Kerslake, 2019;Chowdhury et al, 2022).…”

Little research has been done on the best ways to apply these realizations to the training of women with disabilities. We created an intervention program called “Vocational Training Strategies” to close this gap by raising awareness of, encouraging contemplation on, and promoting the application of training strategies that are advantageous for disabled women in the workplace. In the present study, we employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention program called “Vocational Training Strategies.” This study involved 83 participants who were randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The study was designed to promote metacognitive knowledge and the use of effective learning strategies through three key components: awareness, reflection, and practice. The results showed that women with disabilities in the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher levels of metacognitive knowledge and self-reported use of effective training strategies compared to the control group. These findings support our two main hypotheses: that the study would lead to enhanced metacognitive knowledge and increased use of effective training strategies and developed the intention to change women with disabilities’ training behavior and use more effective strategies. Some aspects identified will be of particular interest to researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. In this new study, the authors identify effective training strategies for women with disabilities. The program is based on awareness, reflection, and practice, which together promote metacognitive knowledge and skills that are essential for successful vocational training to empower women with disabilities in the labor market.
