Barriers to sexuality education for children and young people with disabilities in the WHO European region: a scoping review

K.Michielsen, L. Brockschmidt

This study highlights the complexity of the interaction between people from a certain age group (children and young people), societal misperceptions (of being asexual) and a sensitive topic (sexuality). The diversity of disabilities, combined with sexual and cultural-religious diversity, adds intersections to an already complex issue. The study identified seven main barriers to sexuality education for children and young people with disabilities and highlights implications for the process of removing these barriers to allow persons with disabilities to exercise their right ‘[…] to have access to age-appropriate information, reproductive and family planning education’ (United Nations 2006).
