In particular, it recognises the principle of gender equality, that women and girls with disabilities are often at greater risk and subject to multiple and intersectional discrimination and that State Parties should take adequate measures to ensure the full and equal enjoyment by them of all human rights and fundamental freedoms. Therefore, the European Disability Card and European Parking Card for persons with disabilities should have a clear intersectional and gender equality perspective including for third country nationals with disabilities, in particular women and girls, who are often at greater risk of such discrimination.
