  1. Sexual Harassment Against Women with Disabilities in the World of Work and on Campus

Summary

Work remains to be done to ensure that the links between gender and disability feature more routinely in efforts to end sexual harassment. Common approaches to disability rights, women’s rights, and gender equality have yet to place centrally the lives of women and girls with disabilities.

This paper contributes to the development of intersectional approaches for addressing sexual harassment as it manifests in the lives of women with disabilities. It also offers advice and support for policy makers to address the urgency of strengthening efforts to end discrimination against women in the promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities and centering disability rights and community knowledge in work to end discrimination against women.
