In this episode of the Disability and Sexuality Lab Podcast, we welcome Dr. Claire Azzopardi Lane, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Gender and Sexuality at the University of Malta. Dr. Azzopardi Lane shares her inspiring journey from working as a personal assistant in Australia to becoming a leading advocate for the sexual rights of disabled people in Malta. We dive into the challenges of dismantling ableist assumptions, the importance of including disabled voices in policymaking, and the transformative potential of sex education. Dr. Azzopardi Lane also sheds light on Malta’s initiatives, including national policies addressing sexuality, parenting, and domestic violence among disabled individuals, as well as the crucial role of monitoring to ensure these rights are upheld. Join us as we explore advocacy, rights, and policy in this empowering conversation.
