Abstract
The belief that women with disabilities have greater difficulties in maintaining relationships between women and women with disabilities than those who do not have this status is deeply rooted in our society. This stems from stereotypes and prejudices that give these women a role of dependents and asexuates, and where all the views are focused on their body difference. Our society in relation to the body has established perfect and normality fees, which have been imposed by the person holding power and on the basis of mainly quantitative criteria. All of this leads to an impairment by the discriminating group of the sexual and reproductive rights of these women, denying them and limiting the exercise of such practices, and keeping them in a situation of vulnerability and exclusion due to their physical and gender.
