Накратко на български

Репродуктивният опит на жени с интелектуални увреждания в Испания, включително случаи на принудителна стерилизация и майчинство, е в центъра на анализа. Резултатите ще помогнат за подобряване на здравните грижи и политиките за правата на хората с увреждания в Европа.

Advancing Crip Reproductive Justice: Understanding women with intellectual disabilities' experiences of reproductive control in Spain

In 2020, Spain abolished and criminalised the forced sterilisation of people with disabilities, a practice that had been explicitly permitted by law and used predominantly against women and girls with intellectual disabilities. At least one thousand people were sterilised under this provision in the decade before the ban. In 2021, Spain went further, replacing guardianship with supported decision-making, presuming all adults hold full legal capacity. These were landmark reforms. But a critical question remained unanswered: had they actually changed the everyday reproductive lives of the women they were designed to protect? The Advancing Cripping Reproductive Justice [CripRJ] project, hosted at the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and funded by a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, set out to answer this question. Working at the intersection of medical anthropology and critical disability studies, two disciplines essential for understanding how law, culture, and care interact in shaping people's lives, the project documented the reproductive experiences of women with intellectual disabilities in Spain, including their experiences of sterilisation, contraception, and motherhood. The project aimed to produce the first ethnographic account of these women's experiences; to develop new theoretical tools for understanding how reproductive restriction operates; to advance the concept of crip reproductive justice; to contribute evidence that could inform improvements in reproductive and sexual healthcare for this group; and to use creative methods to imagine more just futures. Its findings are expected to contribute to European disability rights policy, clinical practice, and the ongoing campaign to criminalise forced sterilisation across the EU.

Цел на проекта

In 2020, Spain abolished the widely practised and legally permissible forced sterilisation of Spanish women with intellectual disabilities (WID), marking a new era of disability reproductive justice and bringing the medical and familial reproductive control of WID to the forefront of socio-political awareness. This project, Advancing Crip Reproductive Justice is the first anthropological investigation of their experiences and examines how the new legislation's 'promissory note of inclusion' regarding reproductive self-determination has made a difference in the lives of Spanish WID. It also explores what a future in which WID are supported to reproduce might look like. Working across disciplinary boundaries of medical anthropology, disability studies, and speculative fiction, the CripRJ study ultimately seeks to answer, what kinds of crip-repro futurities are possible when we start from a place in which disability is seen as productive and valuable, instead of as deficient and something to avoid at all costs?
