Factsheet on SRHR of persons with disabilities

The factsheet on SRHR rights among persons with disabilities, produced by Blind Youth Association Nepal (BYAN), highlights the barriers, gaps, and opportunities in sexual and reproductive health and family planning services for youths with disabilities in Nepal. Based on a survey conducted in Kathmandu, Surkhet, and Bara, it underscores how disability-related stigma, lack of accessible information, and inadequate infrastructure limit access to SRHR services, while also identifying trusted sources, awareness levels, and confidence in service utilization. The initiative, part of BYAN’s ongoing “Action for Change” project in partnership with CBM Global Disability Inclusion, emphasizes empowering youths with disabilities through peer education, accessible materials, and advocacy to ensure inclusive, rights-based SRHR services and policies.
