In Bangladesh, where the disability rights movement is still building support, attacks on people with mental and physical disabilities is not uncommon.

The abuse started with words – name-calling, then accusations and cruel jibes about her visual impairment. From there, it progressed to beatings and attacks, regular and consistent.

But on the day Alpona told her employers that she wanted to quit her job as a domestic servant – a gruelling, unpaid position for which she only received mean scraps of food and a place to sleep – her enraged employers threw her from the roof of a four-storey building. Alpona suffered two broken legs and a damaged spine. And that was only the beginning of her problems.
