-In addition, there has been a general lack of attention to SRHR including violence issues within the various sectors of work including in disability and gender
-Coordinating with chapters on health and gender

5. Outputs
Key messages
Perceptions about persons with disabilities not having rights around sexuality and reproduction and not needing SRH services
Persons with disabilities, both women and men, face significant barriers in accessing sexual and reproductive health information, education, and services
Persons with disabilities, particularly women and girls, face higher risk of gender based violence
Recognition that there are challenging issues in relation to SRHR including abortion, coerced and forced sterilization, forced contraception, denial of maternity, parenting and parental rights, denial of legal capacity, autonomy, and decision-making
Link to health, gender, poverty chapters – even WASH
Those promoting SRHR and gender equality must include disability
Intersecting forms of discrimination, especially poverty, important to recognize
