Are your rights respected?

GALA has produced this comic as part of their Deaf Oral History Project and Outreach Programme. This publication addresses issues of HIV prevention, sexual violence and sexual rights and was primarily designed for the deaf community in South Africa. It tells the story of a group of students at a deaf school confronting issues of sexual health and violence, and describes how they learn to deal with them. Due to low levels of literacy and limited health care access, and despite being the largest disability group in South Africa, deaf people are generally little aware of the health implication of sexual behaviours and of their sexual rights. Contains vital and well targeted information presented in a simple and accessible way.
