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. This episode sheds light on how disability rights and SRHR are deeply interconnected. 

This episode highlights:

• What inclusive SRHR looks like in practice

• Challenging harmful myths around disability and sexuality

• The role of feminist movements in advancing disability justice

• Practical recommendations for making SRHR programming and advocacy truly accessible
