Sexuality Education and Person with Physical Disabilities - A Distant Dream

Anju Adhikari

Abstract :

Sexuality Education is still a remote concept in many places in India. Persons with Physical Disabilities are treated in two contradictory ways; libidinous dwarfs or hypersexual. Sexuality is a normal part of growth and development. While approaches to sexual health education may vary, young persons with physical disabilities are denied their right to accurate information and skills on the matters related to sexuality. However, the truth is that young people with disabilities are no different from other kids in their need to understand their bodies. There is a paucity of research studies, especially in Indian context to understand the sexuality education needs of persons with physical disabilities. This empirical research highlights the need and importance of sexuality education for persons with physical disabilities. It also suggests the suitable social work intervention model for fulfilling sexuality education needs of persons with physical disabilities keeping their specific needs and requirements in mind.
