Project Details
The experience of disability interacts with that of other socially constructed identities, including those based on gender, ethnicity, sexuality and age. These interactions share individuals' relationships, experiences of discrimination, and access to a range of community resources. This project will involve collaborative development and piloting of approaches to understanding how diverse social identities interact to influence these perspectives and experiences of women with disability in Victoria, specifically in relation to sexual and reproductive health and rights. The project will also foster dialogue with stakeholders to identify priorities for further research implications for disability (and other) policy and practice.
