The quality of life is affected by a disability, even more so when the person presenting it is a woman. With a view to undertaking future actions, a study is carried out aimed at knowing the perception that this group has about their quality of life. For this, a qualitative questionnaire was developed. From the responses of 526 women, data analysis was performed using webQDA software. It is observed that all the dimensions of quality of life are considered affected to a greater or lesser degree, is a variable to take into account the type of disability; however, the perception of lack of autonomy and inclusion is a constant throughout the collective. The results indicate the need to continue working on independence and autonomy through supports, which in addition to materials or human resources must be emotional from the beginning of the disability.
