The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted social, economic and political systems worldwide, heightening the vulnerabilities of marginalised communities, particularly persons with disabilities. This chapter examines the unique challenges faced by women and girls with disabilities in Zimbabwe, a group that has been disproportionately affected by the pandemic’s consequences. The chapter highlights how the pandemic exacerbated pre-existing inequalities, particularly for the constituency of women and girls with disabilities. Through an Africana womanist lens, this chapter argues that the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on these women and girls was not merely a consequence of their disabilities but was deeply entrenched in social norms that intersect with gender dynamics. It is this intersection of gender and disability that intensified the marginalisation of women with disabilities, rendering them even more susceptible to poverty and social exclusion in the context of the pandemic. Thus, the chapter emphasises the need for inclusive and comprehensive responses to pandemics that consider these gendered complexities to prevent further marginalisation. By focusing on the lived experiences of women and girls with disabilities in the context of COVID-19, it advocates for targeted recovery strategies that align with frameworks such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the National Development Strategy 1. Ultimately, it calls for a concerted effort to ensure that the specific needs of this vulnerable constituency are prioritised in policy responses, thereby fostering a more equitable recovery that addresses the systemic inequalities exacerbated by the pandemic. This exploration underscores the critical importance of understanding the gendered dimensions of disability in navigating the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19 in Zimbabwe.
