Women with disabilities sexually harassed and ignored
Close
Women with disabilities who have been sexually harassed say more needs to be done to educate people.
Disabled women were almost twice as likely to have experienced sexual assault than non-disabled women, according to Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures from 2018
Angharad Paget-Jones, from Port Talbot, said people had taken advantage of her because she was visually impaired, adding educating people was key to stopping it happening.
Amy-Claire Davies, from Swansea, agreed, saying: There are people who will see you as more vulnerable and take advantage.

Dr Deborah Morgan, a leading specialist on loneliness, said a national strategy was needed to help people reintegrate into their communities.
Amy-Claire Davies, 26, has been shielding with her parents in Swansea since the start of the pandemic.
Medically, she is extremely vulnerable. She is living with a life-limiting condition which means she suffers multiple agonising spasms.
