Episode 28 - SRHR, Disability, and the Right to Be Seen

On this episode, we dive into a vital but often overlooked topic: the intersection of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and disability.Around the world, people with disabilities, especially women, girls, and LGBTQI+ people, face systemic barriers to accessing SRHR services, information, and decision-making spaces. Stigma, discrimination, and assumptions that deny people with disabilities autonomy, desires, and rights compound these barriers.
