For answers, UNFPA conducted a study using Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) data from Haiti, Mali, Pakistan, Rwanda, South Africa and Uganda, countries that applied a standard optional module on disability established by the DHS Program. The targeted recommendations pave the way for UN, government entities and civil society to work together in ensuring quality data is available for ending violence and inequalities experienced by women with disabilities when it comes to sexual and reproductive health and rights and bodily autonomy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"abt-pub-wrap\">\n<div class=\"abt-pub\">\n<div class=\"cl-pub\">\n<p>Publisher<\/p>\n<p>UNFPA<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cl-pub\">\n<p>Publication date<\/p>\n<p>Dec 2024<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"action-blk mrg-t-32\">\n<div class=\"download-dropdown\">\n<div class=\"dropdown-select\">\n<p>                              <select class=\"pdf-document\"><option value=\"23\" data-display-text=\"English\" data-display-pdfurl=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pub-pdf\/2024_DHS%20Study%20report_v14%20%282%29%20%281%29.pdf\"> English <\/option><\/select>\n                            <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"download-icon-holder\">\n                                                           <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/sites\/default\/files\/pub-pdf\/2024_DHS%20Study%20report_v14%20%282%29%20%281%29.pdf\" class=\"download selected\"><\/p>\n<p>                              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/themes\/custom\/unfpa_global_redesign\/images\/icon-download-white.svg\" alt=\"Download\"><br \/>\n                            <\/a>\n                          <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unfpa.org\/publications\/making-invisible-visible-why-disability-matters-violence-against-women-and-bodily?rand=6489\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This report examines who and where women with disabilities are, and explores the relationships between disability and intimate partner violence (IPV) and the bodily autonomy of women of reproductive age (15\u201349 years).
