Women with Disabilities face disproportionate barriers when accessing healthcare services. Because of the multiple barriers they experience, they are further left behind. Their inability to make these critical health decisions affects health, and economic outcomes therefore widening the gender equality gap.
Under Ipas disability centred programs, women with disabilities were empowered with sexual and reproductive health information. Now, Favour has better knowledge on contraception and sexual reproductive health.
Initially, I did not know the health centers to get contraceptives. I also didn’t know all the contraceptive options to take before now. Women with disabilities are always discriminated but we were informed to always go to healthcare centers to demand contraceptives. We need more of these programs so we can be enlightened.
