MOHW still lacks complete and accurate statistical data on birth control measures offered to persons with disabilities, and has not attempted to actively understand and refer to the practices adopted by other countries to formulate countermeasures. (5) Although the CRPD Second Report clearly disclosed the percentage of women with disabilities who have undergone a total hysterectomy (the data were derived by analyzing the NHI database), the data only reflected women with disabilities whose hysterectomy costs were partially/fully covered by NHI.91 Thus, the data did not fully reflect the number of women with disabilities undergoing a hysterectomy as a percentage of the population of women with disabilities. Additionally, the CRPD Second report failed to show how persons with disabilities undergoing involuntarily sterilization (e.g., being forced by their parents and not knowing that they were being sterilized) and therefore being deprived of childbirth rights can be prevented. With respect to the above, the MOHW did not propose effective countermeasures. 103. The NHRC is extremely concerned about the fact that between 2016 and 2019, the percentages of children with disabilities who were placed outside of their homes92 and of those who were adopted93 were both higher than the number of children with disabilities as a percentage of the overall population of children.94 It highlighted the government’s inability to provide sufficient resources, assistance, and support to protect the right of children with disabilities to family life as well as ensure that they can grow and develop in their original families and not to be separated from their parents. Additionally, statistics show that from 2016 to 2019, most children with developmental disorders/diseases and disabilities were adopted overseas (65.17%), a topic meriting attention under Article 21 of the CRC and Article 21 of The Protection of Children and Youths Welfare and Rights Act. 91 92 93 94 Surgeries that prevent pregnancy such as tubal ligations are not covered by NHI. From 2016 to 2019, the percentage of children with disabilities who were placed outside of their homes increased annually, reaching 11%. If children with developmental disorders and/or diseases were added, the percentage also increased annually and was even higher (13.77%)。 From 2016 to 2019, the number of children with disabilities who were adopted in Taiwan was 2.83%. This number increased to 22.85% if children with developmental disorders and/or diseases were added. From 2016 to 2019, children with disabilities accounted for approximately 0.90% of the entire population of children. 71
