The women are the most vulnerable part of the society. SDW was a result of a long baseline survey and work at the grass roots level. The society came into being three years back. When woman (Naziran bibi) working in factory lost her legs and was the only one supporting to the family, her husband is drugs addicted and have seven daughters, studying in schools in different levels, but after that the girls left school and the family was from hand to mouth. Sumera George was also disabled since birth, she was seventeen years old at that time and was getting primary education in a school opened by the church in the evening for the disabled, she is mentally strong and can feel the problems. She was very sorry to hear about the incident of Naziran bibi. She discussed the matter of Nazirn Bibi with the other girls in the school, all of them were helpless in this regard. They discussed the problem with the priest in the church and they reached the conclusion that you all get together, work as a team.
So they decided to form a society for the betterment and uplift of disabled women.
