Women with disabilities, fighting for their sexual rights

Cristina Paredero, 30, is a Spanish feminist activist. She is autistic, in a relationship, but cannot have children. “My parents told me that the best way they thought I could have a healthy relationship was to have a tubal ligation” she says. As over 1,000 Spanish were subjected to forced stelerisations in the last 15 years, she is now fighting for this unfair practice to end.
