Description

Disabled women have historically been marginalized from sexuality education and discussions due to harmful stereotypes that portray them as asexual or incompatible with cis-heteroreproductive sexual norms. The findings of this study illustrate the diversity of sexual experiences among disabled women and highlight their active role in overcoming the barriers imposed by their bodies and environments. This review contributes to a broader discourse on sexuality and disability, challenges oversimplified narratives of de-sexualization, and provides evidence supporting a paradigm shift towards inclusive, affirmative sexual health education.
