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

Objective

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?
