Material Detail

Women with disabilities often discover that inadequate care and social stigma are greater barriers to health than the disabilities themselves. A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities helps women with disabilities overcome these barriers while providing practical advice on self-care, healthy and safe sexual relationships, family planning methods, pregnancy and childbirth, and violence and abuse.Full of advice and stories compiled from women with disabilities in 42 countries around the world, A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities provides accessibly written, heavily illustrated information to help women and their communities organize for disability-friendly health care, overcome barriers like limited access to equipment to care for daily needs, and educate to prevent stigma and its harmful effects.
