    “When a disabled woman has good health it means she experiences well-being—of her body, mind, and spirit.”

    A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities

    Developed with the participation of women with disabilities in 42 countries, this groundbreaking guide helps women with disabilities overcome barriers so they can improve their health and advocate for better health care. A Health Handbook for Women with Disabilities is an essential resource for health professionals, caregivers for women with disabilities, and trainers working with disability groups.

    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 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.
