What Challenges Do Women With Disabilities Face?

A new report by the Datum Initiative and ARROW – Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women examines the systemic barriers faced by women with disabilities in Malaysia, particularly around sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Some of the findings published are shocking. 

So, on today’s episode, I’m going to be unpacking the report with its co-authors, Dr Benjamin Loh, Dr Vilashini Somiah and Hasbeemasputra Abu Bakar.
