Sexual assault: Disabled perspective

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Sexual assault hits every group of people, including persons with disabilities. The fact that many forces in our culture—and disabled persons themselves—view disabled persons as asexual results in the disabled person being even more vulnerable to sexual assault than their nondisabled counterparts. This article discusses sexual assault against disabled persons: rape, defense against assault, recovery from assault, and suggestions for assisting a disabled sexual assault victim.
