The issue of women with disabilities is still rarely studied and published in the community, especially the issues of sexual violences for women with disabilities. This study provides a recommendation for both central and local governments (especially in East Java) to accomodate reproductive health services for women with disabilities. Since The Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities through the Law no.19 in 2011, the government have not taken any significant action. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a more implementative model policy for the community. The purpose of this research acts as a reference to make an effective, efficient, and right-on-target reproductive health policy. The recommendation made in this study is expected to be a reference for various parties, including the government, in order to design a more concrete and proactive steps to overcome reproductive health issue for women with disabilities in Indonesia, and also to build strategies which unite communities with different backgrounds. In order to obtain empirical data and information, this study used descriptive research with qualitative approach. Several steps taken are (1) determining the location of the study purposively in 33 sub-districts of Malang regency: in clinic, health, education, and social department, boarding school, Bhakti Luhur, P2TP2A, and local NGOs. Malang regency is chosen because (a) it is the only city which starts concerning sexuality and reproductive health of women with disabilities issues; (b) The sex ratio in 2010 was around 98,78%, which means that the number of females is significantly larger than males. As seen from the population density of 33 sub-districts of Malang, the majority of women has high density above 2000/km². It implies that poverty is mostly suffered by women; (c) the number of reproductive health issues for women with disabilities is quite a lot, because it is regarded as a taboo. (2) Data Collection: (1) observation and (2) indepth interview, (3) informants, (4) data analysis. The result of this study indicates that there are still a lot of women with disabilities who do not understand about taking care of their reproductive organs, and thus impacting their health. The control over their reproductive organs is still low, which makes many of them suffered from sexual violences that lead to unwanted pregnancies. Some cases found during the study show that women with disabilities who become sexual violence victims did not get proper justice, because their statements are not legally accepted, and it is also reinforced by the communities’ stigma which calls person with mental disabilities as a psycho.

People with disabilities owned the same right to obtain employment to be civil servants. The government had created plenty of regulations to guarantee the right to obtain a job, starting from statutory regulations and various implementing regulations. However, a few problems in the scope of employment in government agencies still occur during this time, such as unachievable quotas, failure in procurement, and inequality for persons with disabilities. Moreover, it was not following the number of regulations that have been published. Hence, we were interested in analyzing the contents of the civil servant candidate recruitment policy and its implementation in 2017 through 2019 using a normative-empirical juridical approach, which was presented in a descriptive form. The Researchers examined statutory regulations and implementing regulations, supported by interview data from the stakeholders. In terms of content, the laws and regulations accommodated it quite well. Even though there were bad things, such as the Civil Servant Management regulation and technical regulations regarding the needs of employees in 2017 and 2018, that was considered discriminatory. Furthermore, Ministries and local governments have not fully followed the policies as written in the regulations. Briefly, there was an evolution of the regulations year by year; they were yet needed to improve policy content, although the policies continued to evolve for the better.

Every fifth person in the world i.e. around 20% of global population is adolescents and slightly more than this, in Nepal, adolescents comprise of 24 percentage. Adolescents in Nepal often face limited access to health information and services. Different factors like poverty, gender inequality, socio-economic status, social norms and tradition play crucial role indetermining adolescent’s access to sexual and reproductive health knowledge and available sexual and reproductive health services. Especially women in this context are more disadvantaged with regards to literacy, health and overall wellbeing. In Nepal adolescents comprise of 24 percentage and young people comprise of 33 percentage, which is a larger proportion to the global comparison. Though the government of Nepal has recognized adolescents and youth as under-served and vulnerable population with specific sexual and reproductive health needs, however only limited number for program has been implemented targeting these age groups.
