Disability and Sexuality in Zimbabwe

Disabled women represent one of the most marginalised minority groups in the world, but are largely silent while their sexuality is ignored, suppressed, forbidden and buried underneath the carpet. By facilitating the voice of disabled women in Zimbabwe, this book shifts the experience of sexuality of disabled women to the fore.
