Opinions on the first National Report of Korea on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Assembly in October 2012 that there were only three shelters to protect women with disabilities who fell victim to sexual violence (Pusan, Gwangju and North Chungcheong province) and their combined capacity to accommodate women with disabilities was approx. 40 people. 2) Recommendation ① Unlike women without disabilities, those women with disabilities need experience and information on pregnancy, childbirth and childrearing particularly tailored to their disabilities. Therefore, the government should develop measures to assure the maternity of women with disabilities such as establishing a website to share information on pregnancy, childbirth and childrearing, cultivation of hospitals customized to the needs of women with disabilities, and development of educational programs for parents with disabilities. ② Women with disabilities are more vulnerable to domestic violence and sexual violence as they are ‘women’ with ‘disabilities.’ Therefore, support measures should be strengthened to prevent domestic & sexual violence against women with disabilities and protect victims. 4. Article 8.
