This brief Paper from Women With Disabilities Australia (WWDA) provides an overview of the issue of forced sterilisation of women and girls with disabilities in Australia. It provides information on the Australian Government's response to the issue over the past two decades and looks at the issue in the context of Australia's international and domestic human rights obligations. Copyright WWDA December 2012. The Paper is available on WWDA's website in PDF and Word versions.
