Arrow for Change: Disability Rights and SRHR
Dear Family Planning Champion,
People living with disabilities are an important population to reach with sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR). A new ARROW editorial argues that women with disabilities in particular are more likely to experience sexual or gender-based violence (SGBV) due to structural violence and vulnerability. The piece focuses on the Asia-Pacific region and makes a case for the championing of SRHR and prioritization of women with disabilities for SGBV care.
