Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 37
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Denying access to reproductive health care, or forcing women with disabilities to undergo procedures aimed at controlling their reproductive choices, is a form of violence against women. The Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development recognizes the basic right of all individuals to make decisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence; to have the information and means to do so; and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health. The Programme of Action also recognizes that these rights apply to persons with disabilities.
