Sex, Gender and Disability in Nepal

This book examines the sexual lives of women with disabilities in Nepal, challenging perceptions that women with disabilities are asexual and highlighting their capacity for fulfilling sexual experiences. Using critical sexual theory and postcolonial studies, it features the narratives of five Nepali authors with disabilities, revealing gaps in policies and the need for supportive gender and sexual policies. The work underscores the often-taboo nature of sexuality within disciplinary discourses and emphasizes the importance of addressing emotional and psychological needs. It offers valuable insights into sex and disability in the Global South, relevant to scholars in gender, disability, and development studies.
