The contribution focuses on the intersection of gender dimension with disability, considering the aspects related to social policies and welfare. The various forms of disability, if understood as «functional limitations» with respect to activities and participation in daily life (ICF, WHO 2001), is related to different categories: disadvantaged minors and adults, but also the elderlies and other subjects with particular situations of fragility, who require care and assistance. The context raises a series of questions that concern social justice and equal opportunities and empowerment of both people with disabilities and women: this contribution contribution will highlight how a participatory welfare approach has proven to be an important resource at the local level for responding to urgent needs regarding social policies in this regard.
