ABSTRACT

A survey was conducted to identify the real situation of visually impaired women in the sector of employment in Nepal. The survey helps to understand what sort of challenges the visually impaired women in Nepal have to face and to know their workplace environment, their skills, experiences, and their interest in working. Visually impaired women in Nepal are very capable and skilled in various sectors like music, teaching, and writing. Some visually impaired women are employed and they are supporting their family, and most of the employed visually impaired women are satisfied with their work and have good earning with good savings. The unemployed visually impaired people have many skills and qualifications; they should be given a chance to prove their capabilities and show what they can do. Support and empowerment should be given to the visually impaired women so those who are dependent on others can stand on their feet.
