Pass the Mic: Dr. Jewelles Smith on Reproductive and Sexual Care for Persons with Disabilities

This month, just in time for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we’re passing the mic to Dr. Jewelles Smith, a feminist disability activist, scholar, writer, and artist. Smith uses her voice to amplify the issues of human rights, disability and women through research, mainstream media, and education. The needs and rights of disabled people have been deeply neglected; they frequently encounter obstacles in accessing services and information on sexual and reproductive health. Often, healthcare professionals are not prepared to provide the care that disabled people need. The first and most important step is to raise awareness. ICM aims to provide midwives and other healthcare providers with resources and knowledge related to this issue.
