This
article, published in the June 2012 issue of Marie Claire Magazine, looks at
the issue of forced and coerced sterilisation of girls and women with
disabilities in Australia. It examines the issues from a range of perspectives
- that of Bella, a 34 year old disabled woman who was forcibly sterilised as a
child; Claire, a mother seeking sterilisation for her 26 year old disabled
daughter; and Amanda, a 29 year old woman with a mild intellectual disability
who is successfully raising her twin daughters.
