Series Statement:
Routledge ISS gender, sexuality and development studies
Content:
"This book explores the sex lives of women with disabilities in Nepal, showing that many women suffer more than men despite prevailing disability policies that emphasize non-discrimination against people with disabilities. It also argues that far from general perceptions of women as asexual, women with disabilities are capable of leading highly creative and fulfilling sexual lives. This book provides important insights into sex and disability within the context of the Global South, and as such will be of interest not only to researchers working on Nepal, but also to scholars across gender studies, disability studies, international development, and postcolonialism"--
