I 2015 kom Don Kulick og Jens Rydström med boken Loneliness and Its Opposite. Sex, Disability, and the Ethics of Engagement, hvor de sammenligner Sverige og Danmarks meget ulike tilnærming til seksualitet og funksjonsnedsettelser.
Innglegget vil bygge på den mye omtalte og tankevekkende boken, mer informasjon om den finner dere her
Abstract:
When a person with a disability lives in a group home, or lives in his or her own home and needs outside help to be able to carry out everyday activities such as eating, bathing and toileting, that home is also other people’s workplace. The disabled person’s home is a grey zone in legal terms, since it is both a private residence and a public workplace. When conflicts arise, what takes precedence: a disabled person’s right to privacy or a worker’s right to a “good work environment”? I will give examples of conflicts that arise in such situations regarding sexuality, and I will discuss how such situations are dealt with very differently in Sweden and Denmark.
