On this episode, we spoke to two feminist disability activists Nyasha Maseruka from Zimbabwe and Makgosi Letimile from South Africa. 

They reflected on their experiences as women with disabilities; the lack of access to healthcare services and other basic services; stigma and discrimination; peer education as a source of empowerment; pleasure as a healing tool; access intimacy; transformative justice; pleasure and healing; barriers to accessing education; and, dating as a disabled as a disabled woman.
