Sexual violence against women with disabilities: intersection between race/color and vulnerability
The study shows that black women with disabilities are more vulnerable to sexual violence. It is suggested that health professionals who treat victims of this type of violence receive continuous training, with an emphasis on improving the recording of notifications to avoid blank or ignored data and on offering specialized care, taking into account the particularities of each woman, as in the case of people with intellectual disabilities. It should be noted that the research has limitations as it uses secondary data.
