AB Disability does not have nor had the same perception in all civilizations. Its treatment and considerations have been very complexand diverse within its regions and have generated multiple discriminatory behaviors. Today, we live in a new social paradigmdeveloped with human rights in mind that people with disabilities enjoy. This new model, more human, has been adopted in mostcountries of the world. These rights are consistent with equality in opportunities thanks to the support in new policies and newaction programs in favor of education, health, and work rights to help them enjoy their full potential.The rights for people with disabilities has been reinforced with the support and legislative recommendations made from theEuropean Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedom of 1953, from the Program of World Actionfor Disabilities (Decade of United Nations for People with Disabilities between 1983-1992), from the European Action Plan forPeople with Disabilities 2003 - 2010, Strategies about Disabilities 2010-2020 in the European Union. In Spain, with the law ofApril 7th of 1982: Law of Social Integration for the Handicapped (LISMI) and also, with the law of 51/2003, of December 2nd, ofEqual Opportunities, no Discrimination and Universal Accessibility for People with Disabilities (LIONDAU).Society has come a long way which has allowed us to change from humiliating conceptualizations like: crazy, demential, disable,handicapped, deficient, etc., to the new concept of people with disabilities. Regardless of this improvements, reality shows theprecariousness situation that this people live, especially, women and girls with disabilities. They have difficulties even to be ableto read and write. They are excluded from the education system, work training and some basic health services that ignore them anddeny their right to reproduce and deny their sexuality. Therefore, they suffer a greater social exclusion and are more vulnerable toviolence situations for multiple discriminations: to be a woman and to have a disability. They face a social image that is invisibleand anonymous in our society.
