Social inequalities shape the environment of women with disabilities, in a society that, it requires them to perform traditional domestic activities and, on the other, it discriminates against them based on their condition and gender. Although the state has created norms that guarantee equality for people with disabilities and for women, but in practice, processes and staff members in public institutions discriminate against women with disabilities are still evident. Non-profit institutions, such as foundations, have provided support in health, education, social work, and psychological support services. The research determines the life experiences of women with disabilities in the Huambaló Parish. The study is exploratory and descriptive. A qualitative methodology was used to conduct the research, based on the development of a self-authored questionnaire comprised of seven dimensions: educational system, judicial system, social inequalities, cultural ideas, discrimination, professional assistance, and disability. Data collection was carried out through fieldwork, in which 15 women with disabilities from the Huambaló Parish were interviewed. Recommendations presented based on the research include: a comprehensive support program, priority care, the implementation of indicators to reduce discrimination, and integration activities between women with disabilities and their close family members.
