As a result, there are a range of ways in which poorly designed and managed sexual and reproductive health services can be inaccessible. Their experiences and voices provide deeper insights that can help shape sexual healthcare that is disability inclusive. Sexual health services can work towards being disability inclusive by confronting and raising awareness of stigma and discrimination, conducting outreach work that educates about misconceptions related to disability, and providing inclusive strategies and training for health workers. We need to change the narrative around who sexual and reproductive healthcare is for and challenge ideas of disabled women’s sexuality. That’s why sexual and reproductive health services need to be inclusive and accessible for everyone.
