Developing Community Care for Adults with a Mental Handicap (Occasional Paper)
Disability and Sexuality in Zimbabwe (Routledge Studies on Gender and Sexuality in Africa)
by Christine Peta
Disabled women represent one of the most marginalised minority groups in the world, hence they are largely silent while their sexuality is ignored, suppressed, forbidden and buried underneath the carpet. Until recently, most of the Global Northern published literature on the subject of the sexuality of disabled women has predominantly been constructed from hearsay and second-hand narratives in studies which draw from the perspectives of parents, service providers and advocates, without much cons...
