Despite Nepal's relatively comprehensive set of legal and policy instruments aimed at protecting the right to health of people with disability, women with disability in the country face numerous barriers to accessing health care, which ultimately compromises their full enjoyment of this right. This research examines the lived experience of women with physical, sensory, or mental health disability in relation to their access to health care and explores the potential of the notion of shared human vulnerability to advance the full and equal exercise of the right to health for people with disability. This article uses empirical data from 25 qualitative interviews with women with disability and interprets them considering Amber Knight's theoretical formulations on disability and vulnerability.
