Disability, Sex, and the Silence of Society Rosemary Kayess's story is one of courage in the face of adversity, but it also highlights the ways in which society fails its most vulnerable members.
As Australia's Disability Discrimination Commissioner, she has dedicated her life to advocating for people with disabilities, yet even she has faced harsh realities living with a physical disability.
The conversation around sex and relationships often treats people with disabilities as taboo. Kayess recounts how medical professionals focused on men's erectile function while ignoring women's needs.
