Abstract

This study investigated the psycho-social challenges encountered by young women with disabilities in accessing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services and information at the National Council of Disabled Persons of Zimbabwe (NCDPZ). The research was prompted by the increasing prevalence of SRHR violations against this population, rooted in interconnected barriers operating at various socio-ecological levels. A purposive sample of 52 young women with diverse disabilities was drawn from NCDPZ for participation. The study aimed to identify the key psycho-social barriers affecting SRHR access and to explicitly analyze how these challenges are distributed across Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, namely, the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem.
