This book offers an account of the challenges those with intellectual disabilities face in their sexuality and relationships and explores what society needs to do to respect their rights. Drawing extensively on personal experiences, it paints a picture of the range of sexualities and relationships people want and shows how sexuality has been managed and controlled in different countries. It explores a range of issues such as rights, resilience, protection, sexual oppression and the lack of privacy for those living in care institutions. Co-edited and with contributions by people with intellectual disabilities and allies, this book provides insight into a morally, ethically and legally complex area and will be of help to people with intellectual disabilities, their advocates, families and supporters; and to social care managers, social workers, and other professionals working in the field as well as academic researchers and students.
