Recommendation
JS23 expressed concern about existing discriminatory laws and policies against persons with disabilities, particularly noting that the Draft Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence, currently being discussed by the Government and Parliament contained still discriminatory provisions that justified the practice of sterilizing or installing forced contraceptives against people with mental disabilities. JS21 stated that women with psychosocial disabilities who were placed in social institutions and psychiatric hospitals were vulnerable to forced contraception and forced sterilization. [Para 74]
