Abstract

Tüm dünya nüfusunun yaklaşık %12.5’i engelli insanlar tarafından oluşmaktadır ve temel hakları vardır. Bu haklar içerisinde yer alan haklardan bir tanesi de cinsellik ve üreme sağlığı konusunda hizmet alma hakkıdır. Biz de burdan yola çıkarak, bu derlememizde engelli kadınların üreme sağlığı konusunda yaşadıkları problemleri ele alıp onlara ne tür hizmetler ve çözümler sunulması gerektiğini anlatmayı amaçladık.
