| dc.description.abstract | The international paradigm is moving towards a more robust recognition of both the human rights of persons with disabilities and the rights of women. Article 6 of the UNCRPD recognizes the full and equal enjoyment by women and girls with disabilities of all human rights and fundamental freedoms. The recognition of reproductive health right as a human right under international human rights law has been sporadic, piecemeal, and indirect, yet reproductive health rights are fundamental and autonomous human rights to women. The intersection comprising the right of women with disabilities and their reproductive entitlement, right and freedom has not been given due attention in the world especially in developing countries and Ethiopia is not an exception. The double vulnerability of women with disabilities exposes them to a multifaceted violation and mistreatment to the enjoyment of their rights inter alia. Therefore in order to ensure the respect, protection and promotion of these rights, it is essential to identify barriers that impede their realization and implementation. SRH services, information and education are inaccessible to women with disabilities for a plethora of normative, physical and societal reasons. The paper tries to analyses the legal and institutional frame work pertaining to SRHR. It argues that the nonexistence, inadequacy and incompatible justice system and inaccessible reproductive healthcare delivery exacerbate the violation and infringement of these rights. The paper tries to unveil that assuring reproductive health and right to be accessible will circumvent barriers that transcend in practice the rhetoric of the rights secured for women with disabilities. | en_US |
