The Sexual Assistant as a Support Person for the People that Are in a Situation of Disability: Perceptionabout its Legal Recognition and Financial Support
Abstract
Sexual assistance understood from a human rights perspective is constituted as the tool for those people who are in a situation of disability to access their own body and thus develop their sexuality. This figure is involved in a great controversy, so this article addresses one of its most controversial issues: its legal recognition and financial support. The following pages include a qualitative study through written documents and interviews with those people directly linked to the subject (sexual assistant and people who receiving this support) with the testimonies of two experts in this topic. As it is an emerging figure and little known so far, through this article are shown the diversity of paradigms that revolve around it and the need to make visible the free exercise of the right to live a free and full sexuality.
