Contraception = Power.
For women with disabilities, it means choice, health, equality & opportunity.
But access is not equal. Together we can change this by:
1. Employing women with disabilities to support and enhance SRHR in the community.
2. Improving disability data collection using digital tools and community-generated data.
3. Training healthcare providers on disability rights and inclusion to enhance disability-inclusive healthcare.
4. Empowering women with disabilities to engage in decision making and public participation processes.

Which other myths do you know?

Women with disabilities still face harmful myths about contraception — from being seen as “asexual” to being denied the right to choose their own method.

Myths like “you can’t get pregnant” or “providers know best” are not just wrong, they are dangerous.
he truth: Women with disabilities are sexually active, can have children, and deserve informed choice, accessible information, and respect.

It’s time to end the assumptions and uphold dignity, autonomy, and rights for all women with disabilities.

Family planning is a fundamental right for women and girls with disabilities. Unfortunately, discrimination within healthcare facilities often forces them to rely on unsafe traditional methods, putting their health at serious risk.

Since 2021, our Skills program has equipped 317 healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills needed to offer inclusive, respectful, and supportive services to women and girls with disabilities seeking family planning.

On World Contraception Day, we face the hard truth: women with disabilities are often denied the right to choose their method of contraception. Many hospitals lack ramps or adjustable beds. Healthcare providers dismiss their sexual lives. Contraceptive information is delivered in formats they can’t access — with no Braille, no sign language, no easy‐read versions.

Too many women with disabilities are pressured into one-size-fits-all methods, denied respectful counselling, or coerced into permanent solutions all because of assumptions about their capacity or worth. By training Healthcare providers in disability-inclusive care, we can ensure accessible infrastructure and communication support, guarantee full method choice, and include women with disabilities in policy design.

Women with disabilities deserve the power to choose with dignity.

Women and girls with disabilities have the right to informed consent always, in every medical setting, at every age.

1. No forced sterilization
2. No coerced abortion
3. No medical procedures without clear, accessible explanation and voluntary agreement

Too often, their voices are dismissed—assumed they “can’t understand” or “won’t need children.” This isn’t healthcare. It’s violence.

Need help? Call Mama Siri via 0800 000 300 or SMS 0799 000 300 to report Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.

On this International Day of Sign Languages, we spotlight the challenges Deaf women and girls face when accessing healthcare. From being misunderstood in hospitals to being completely excluded from vital sexual reproductive health rights information—the lack of trained Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) interpreters is a silent barrier that denies them their rights.

Deaf women and girls have the right to communicate, be heard, and make informed decisions about their health. Let’s push for more trained KSL interpreters in hospitals and ensure every clinic, maternity ward, and health program is truly inclusive.

Because access without language is not access at all.

Women and girls with disabilities face compounded discrimination rooted in both gender and disability.

They are disproportionately affected by violence, often excluded from essential services, and denied access to information in formats such as sign language, Braille, or simplified text.

These systemic barriers silence their voices, isolate them from support, and violate their rights.
