Redefining intimacy: a qualitative study on sexual function experiences and perspectives among migrant and refugee women in South Australia
The findings highlight the need for culturally sensitive, gender-appropriate sexual health services and the removal of financial, linguistic, and systemic barriers to healthcare access. Healthcare providers, policymakers, and community organisations play a crucial role in fostering inclusive environments that support migrant and refugee women's sexual health and well-being.
