“disability” enters the family equation, the paradigm of an incomplete and low-quality life becomes embedded in the social thinking.Even in today’s more liberal and inclusive social environments, women and girls with disabilities are facing multiple and varied discrimination in all areas of life. 
Mother Matters– MoMs project is here to dispel myths 
and change perspectives 
on motherhood and women with disabilities by disseminating information

, lead a social and independent life
and raise her children
