This online micro-credential will provide practice considerations when working with women with disabilities to provide effective support to clients and their relatives. It will will also provide guidance on how to address sexuality issues in a respectful manner and not shy away from discussing people with disabilities’ vulnerability to sexual violence. Human rights principles of dignity, equality and mutual respect along with promoting the rights of clients are examined.
