According to a 2021 Disability Royal Commission report, more than 60 per cent of Australians with disability have experienced physical, social, intimate partner violence and/or emotional abuse.
Associate Professor Patsie Frawley - at the University of New South Wales - researches sexuality rights as well as violence and abuse prevention in the lives of people with disabilities.
Her work at the National Centre of Excellence in Intellectual Disability Health involves collaborating with people with intellectual disabilities to ensure they lead the research.
Dr Frawley spoke to Jennifer Scherer to the importance of accessible resources and support in the context of sexual violence prevention.
