Happy Sexual Health Awareness Month

Disabled people face significantly higher barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive healthcare than their non-disabled peers. The barriers to sexual healthcare range from the lack of robust sexual education for disabled students to a lack of words relating to sexual health in the body on communication devices. Everybody deserves access to sexual healthcare!
