Does the Paralympics help disabled women?

Today In Rio

Available for over a year

There were five nations at the Rio Paralympics that didn’t send any female athletes. That would lead to a ban at the Olympics but not at the Paralympics. The BBC’s Mani Djazmi, International Paralympic Committee member Ann Cody and Miki Matheson, a three-time Paralympic gold medallist for Japan, discuss the issue.
