Violence against women with disabilities 2012, para. 27 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Lesbians and other sexual minorities who identify as female and who have disabilities confront social barriers, isolation, exclusion and violence due to both sexual minority status and disability. Lesbians with psychosocial disabilities have been largely excluded or overlooked in research and treatment, despite their usage of mental health-care and other psychosocial services. They sometimes experience a "cultural contradiction" imposed by society since lesbianism is viewed as a sexual identity, while women with disabilities are often stereotyped as asexual. | Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |

Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 62 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | As lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex prisoners in many jurisdictions have exceptionally limited contact with their families and partners, the sense of isolation in prison is intensified, impacting their mental health and prospects for social reintegration. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex prisoners frequently are not afforded adequate access to health care, including specific physical and mental-health treatment. They also are more likely to be the victims of disrespectful health care generally. In Guatemala, prisoners have been subjected to medical testing without their consent, including for HIV. | Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
