Reproductive Rights and Freedoms of People with Disabilities
Description
What does it mean to have control over your body when society sees you as incapable of making choices about it?
In this powerful episode of The Eclectic Podcast, host Eloka Oduah explores the often-ignored issue of reproductive rights for people with disabilities. From forced sterilizations to lack of access to inclusive sexual health education and care, disabled individuals continue to face systemic barriers to bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom.
Eloka is joined by Winnie Njeri Muthoni, a gender and disability mainstreaming officer, to discuss:
• Myths around asexuality, parenting, and consent
• The importance of inclusive policies and education
• What reproductive justice means for people with disabilities
• How to support the movement for autonomy and accessibility
This episode challenges taboos, unpacks policy gaps, and uplifts real stories. Because every body deserves choice, freedom, and dignity.
