ABSTRACT
This article mainly discusses gender, body image, and the disability philosophy that applies to Chinese community services. The perspective of culture ideology has a huge influence on self-awareness for persons with disabilities. The mainstream aesthetics is also one of the main factors affecting the evaluation of self-appearance for women and girls with disabilities. Most of them feel that their body betrays their soul. The consequence of the conflicts between their appearance and the mainstream aesthetic results in depression within disability communities. Every woman and girl with disabilities needs to be empowered. The first step is self-awareness and self-esteem. This article tries to explain how to change the negative self-identity of disabled women and girls to positive self-identity, through different forms of empowering activities. The research methods of this article include literature review and case interview.
