Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 69
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Women with disabilities have more limitations on access to sexual and reproductive health care. Often health-care providers see them as asexual, thereby concluding that they do not require certain health-care services. An analysis of the data contained in the World Health Organization World Health Survey shows a significant difference between men and women with disabilities and people without disabilities in terms of the attitudinal, physical, and system level barriers faced in accessing care.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
