Abstract	Interviews with 52 Indigenous women with physical disabilities in Oaxaca, Mexico, indicated they had remarkably high levels of self-esteem and were content with their personal relationships, but struggled to find employment and education. The Women's International Leadership Institute (Tucson, Arizona) has provided training in leadership and employment skills to these women. Lessons were learned about cultural sensitivity and the importance of extended family. (Contains 26 references.) (TD)
