本文的目的是阐明津巴布韦残疾妇女的生育经历和愿望。本文借鉴了定性叙事研究的研究人员在南非的开普敦大学，探讨了在津巴布韦的残疾妇女的性经验，并使用传记叙事解释方法来生成数据。在某种程度上，研究表明，残疾妇女经常遇到与残疾有关的各种挑战，这些挑战阻碍她们充分实现其性健康和生殖健康及权利。一些与会者说，他们对有自己的亲生子女感到高兴，尽管他们对在大多数情况下在生殖保健中心内外受到歧视感到沮丧。在研究期间没有任何生育经验的参与者报告说，他们渴望拥有自己的亲生孩子。无论如何，妇女的叙述正在挑战残疾妇女不需要生育竞技场空间的神话，因为她们是残疾人。
The aim of this article is to elucidate the childbearing experiences and aspirations of women with disability in Zimbabwe. The paper draws from a qualitative narrative study conducted by researchers at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, which explored the experiences of sexuality of disabled women in Zimbabwe and which used the Biographic Narrative Interpretive Method to generate data. In part, the study revealed that disabled women often encounter a diverse range of challenges that are associated with disability and which hinder them from realising their full sexual and reproductive health and rights. Some participants recounted that they are happy with the fact that they have their own biological children, albeit registering frustration with the fact that they are in most cases discriminated against both within and outside of reproductive healthcare centres. Participants who had not had any childbearing experiences by the time of the study reported that they aspired to have their own biological children. Whichever way, the women's narratives are challenging the myth that women with disability do not require space in the childbearing arena because they are disabled.
