There's limited data and understanding of lived experiences available in some areas, particularly around intersectionality and the impacts of various layers of identities for disabled people.
There are however several examples within communities that demonstrate the diverse disproportionate impacts due to disabilities across various intersecting identities, whether disabilities have a day-to-day impact or not compared to those who are not disabled at this time.
