SRI submission to the Special Rapporteur on the rights of persons with disabilities: Sexual and reproductive health and rights of persons with disabilities

In response to the Special Rapporteur’s call for input on the right to health, SRI made a submission focusing on the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of persons with disabilities. The submission challenges stereotypes surrounding sexuality and disability, outlines some of the common barriers to SRHR experienced by women and girls with disabilities, and advocates for an approach centered on autonomy.

The Special Rapporteur’s report was presented to the General Assembly in 2018, and can be accessed at this page.
