The Under-Representation of Women Living with Disabilities in the Literature on Sexual Health

Using a critical literature review (with an emphasis on the Canadian context) I illustrate that the literature on the sexual health of women living with disabilities is sparse, fragmented and rarely addresses intersecting forms of oppression. Using the literature, I argue that the exclusion of women living with disabilities from the sexual health literature is itself a systemic health inequity. Additionally, I argue for the use of intersectionality as a framework for research that can best capture the complexities of women's experiences of disability and sexual health.
