Inclusion and Disability. This item is unavailable.Inclusion and Disability

There are numerous studies on breastfeeding and disabilities, but few address their intersection. This paper seeks to analyze the cultural, social, economic, labor, health and communicational factors that affect breastfeeding, considering its deficit in terms of accessibility, especially for people with disabilities. Although the postpartum period is a global interdisciplinary topic, its approaches do not fully visualize the factors that affect breastfeeding, which intensifies the barriers related to ableism. This study uses intersectionality to identify systemic inequalities that impact the breastfeeding of people with disabilities. Finally, accessible public policies that favor social inclusion and improve governance are suggested.
