The urban development landscape in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, is undergoing significant transformation through inclusive initiatives aimed at empowering individuals with disabilities. However, a closer examination reveals a gendered and top-down bias in existing programs, highlighting the necessity for a more intersectional approach. This study focuses on the intersecting challenges faced by disabled women, emphasizing the complexities they encounter in both public spaces and domestic settings. 

The research emphasises the unique obstacles encountered by disabled women, who often face compounded discrimination due to the intersection of their gender and disability status. These challenges manifest in various aspects of daily life, from accessing public spaces to navigating domestic responsibilities. The study reveals how societal expectations and cultural norms exacerbate these difficulties, creating barriers that are often overlooked in conventional urban development strategies. By shedding light on these nuanced experiences, this research underscores the imperative of enhancing accessibility and support for disabled women at the intersection of gender, disability, and authority in urban development efforts.
