Abstract
This study examines the representation of women living with disabilities in Shahira Al-Hassan's novel Cochlea's Secrets. This is an important endeavor as it highlights fiction's role in advocating for women with disabilities, particularly in the Arab region. Such a study is crucial for increasing awareness and support for women with disabilities, especially in literary writing. By addressing this topic from the perspective of an Arab narrative, the study aims to highlight the contributions of Arab novels in addressing injustices against women living with disabilities and exploring opportunities for their empowerment. The paper also seeks to reveal how Arab novelistic innovation bridges the gender gap, eliminates discrimination, and ends violence against disabled women, stressing the significance of empowering disabled women for Arab societies to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
