One in three women with intellectual and developmental disabilities lack the most basic knowledge about their sexual and reproductive health, menstruation and menopause and have even never been to a gynecologist. In this context, the Murcia City Council, at the request of the departments of Social Services and Equality, in collaboration with Full Inclusion, has published an accessible easy-to-read guide on menopause and self-care for women.
‘Take care of yourself to enjoy life’ has been prepared by the federation for adult women, with or without disabilities, who need to receive information, training and advice on this subject in an understandable and simple way. Easy reading is a technique to make texts more understandable. It is very useful for people with intellectual disabilities, but also for the elderly or anyone who has difficulty understanding an official document.
