Abstract
People with disabilities have unique experiences negotiating their
sexual needs and desires with their partners. The current lack of
research on sexual partner negotiations and conversations around
disability demonstrates the need for further research in this area.
This study examines the experiences of nine adults with physical
disabilities regarding negotiations with their current, former and
potential sexual partners about sexual activities. Using a
phenomenological approach, this study focuses on adults with physical
disabilities, ages 25-50, who live in the metro area of a city in the
Southwest, and who self identify as having at least one physical
disability. The emergent themes of being defined by disability,
partner connection, representation of self, and kink as communication,
demonstrate some of the distinctive aspects of sexual negotiation
experienced by people with disabilities. By providing a better
understanding of how people with disabilities experience sexual
conversations and negotiations, it is hoped that this study will serve
to inform and strengt

Subject: [AI] Welfare minister apologises for disability pay comments
Message-ID: <79FAFFCB1BEB401F8C2D5F3524EDB276 at VikasKapoorPC>

Welfare minister apologises for disability pay comments
Welfare minister Lord Freud has apologised for "foolish and offensive"
remarks in which he suggested people with disabilities could be paid less
than the minimum wage.
Labour has called on the Conservative peer to resign after he said some
workers were "not worth the full wage".
David Cameron distanced himself from the comments, saying they "were not the
views of anyone in government".
Lord Freud said he was "profoundly sorry" and supported the minimum wage.
The row dominated the first Prime Minister's Questions after the conference
recess, with Ed Miliband saying the comments demonstrated the Conservatives'
"worst instincts".
Ed Miliband asked the prime minister about the future of a welfare minister
In response, the prime minister said he "did not need lectures from anybody
about looking after disabled people" and urged the Labour leader not "to
cast aspersions".
Lord Freud's comments came during a fringe meeting at the Conservative
conference last month when he was asked whether it was preferable for
someone with a disability, who could not get a job, to be paid less than the
minimum wage - and to have their income topped up with benefits - in order
to give them the experience of work and boost their self esteem.
'?2 an hour'
In response to the question, from Conservative councillor David Scott, he
reportedly said there "was no system for going below the minimum wage".
But he added: "Now, there is a small. there is a group, and I know exactly
who you mean, where actually as you say they're not worth the full wage and
actually I'm going to go and think about that particular issue, whether
there is something we can do nationally, and without distorting the whole
thing, which actually if someone wants to work for ?2 an hour, and it's
working can we actually."
Esther McVey on Lord Freud comments: "These words will haunt him"
Labour circulated a transcript of remarks and a partial recording, just
before PM's questions began.
Raising the issue in Parliament, Mr Miliband said: "These are not the words
of someone who ought to be in charge of policy relating to the welfare of
disabled people.
"Surely someone holding those views can't possibly stay in his government?"
'Thinking aloud'
But Mr Cameron said these were not the views of the government.
"We pay the minimum wage, we are reforming disability benefits, we want to
help disabled people in our country and we want to help more of them into
work. And instead of casting aspersions, why does he not get back to talking
about the economy."
In a statement Lord Freud, a former banker who has been a minister in the
Department for Work and Pensions since 2010, offered a "full and unreserved
apology".
"I was foolish to accept the premise of the question," he said.
"To be clear, all disabled people should be paid at least the minimum wage,
without exception, and I accept that it is offensive to suggest anything
else."
Lord Freud said he "cared passionately" about disabled people and was proud
"to have played a full part in a government that is fully committed to
helping disabled people overcome the many barriers they face in finding
employment".
The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said it was important to understand
the context of the conversation and that Lord Freud was not arguing for a
new policy of routinely paying people less than the minimum wage.
He said one interpretation of Lord Freud's comments was that he was
"thinking aloud" but suggestions that the minimum wage could be undercut
would seem "heartless" and come back to "haunt him".
Analysis: By Damon Rose, Ouch!
Unemployment for disabled people has remained stubbornly around 50% for over
twenty years despite schemes and incentives. It's perhaps understandable
that Lord Freud might want to think outside the box to allow desperate
disabled people to shine and get a real job with a real (if low) wage which
for some may be preferable to remaining at home, isolated, looking forward
to a life on benefits.
If disabled people could charge less for their time, they might get a job
more easily... but it could also send out unhelpful messages and devalue all
disabled workers.
Suggesting that disabled people may not be worthy of what's deemed to be a
"minimum" wage is seen by campaigners as unacceptable, as Conservative MP
Philip Davies found to his cost in 2011. Equal rights, equal pay are bound
up in law and feel right and just.
Lord Freud sounds like he was raising an important debate, but has muddied
the waters with what sounds like disrespectful language. And as a minister
responsible for controversial welfare reforms, campaigners have been quick
to claim it is a troubling insight into how he thinks.
Disabled affairs minister Esther McVey told the BBC that the comments were
"wrong" and could not be justified.
And the Liberal Democrats said what Lord Freud said was "completely
unacceptable".
A former adviser to the last Labour government, Lord Freud has been closely
involved in the coalition's implementation of major benefits changes, such
as the replacement of the disability living allowance with the personal
independence payment and the rollout of Universal Credit, a consolidated
single payment designed to encourage work.
Mr Scott, a councillor in Kent, defended Lord Freud's response, saying there
were examples where the minimum wage "precludes a small number of physically
or mentally disabled from working".
He suggested the minister did not intend to "undermine the minimum wage but
thinks a system to reward them would help their own well-being by getting
them into work".

Welfare minister apologises for disability pay comments
Welfare minister Lord Freud has apologised for "foolish and offensive"
remarks in which he suggested people with disabilities could be paid less
than the minimum wage.
Labour has called on the Conservative peer to resign after he said some
workers were "not worth the full wage".
David Cameron distanced himself from the comments, saying they "were not the
views of anyone in government".
Lord Freud said he was "profoundly sorry" and supported the minimum wage.
The row dominated the first Prime Minister's Questions after the conference
recess, with Ed Miliband saying the comments demonstrated the Conservatives'
"worst instincts".
Ed Miliband asked the prime minister about the future of a welfare minister
In response, the prime minister said he "did not need lectures from anybody
about looking after disabled people" and urged the Labour leader not "to
cast aspersions".
Lord Freud's comments came during a fringe meeting at the Conservative
conference last month when he was asked whether it was preferable for
someone with a disability, who could not get a job, to be paid less than the
minimum wage - and to have their income topped up with benefits - in order
to give them the experience of work and boost their self esteem.
'?2 an hour'
In response to the question, from Conservative councillor David Scott, he
reportedly said there "was no system for going below the minimum wage".
But he added: "Now, there is a small. there is a group, and I know exactly
who you mean, where actually as you say they're not worth the full wage and
actually I'm going to go and think about that particular issue, whether
there is something we can do nationally, and without distorting the whole
thing, which actually if someone wants to work for ?2 an hour, and it's
working can we actually."
Esther McVey on Lord Freud comments: "These words will haunt him"
Labour circulated a transcript of remarks and a partial recording, just
before PM's questions began.
Raising the issue in Parliament, Mr Miliband said: "These are not the words
of someone who ought to be in charge of policy relating to the welfare of
disabled people.
"Surely someone holding those views can't possibly stay in his government?"
'Thinking aloud'
But Mr Cameron said these were not the views of the government.
"We pay the minimum wage, we are reforming disability benefits, we want to
help disabled people in our country and we want to help more of them into
work. And instead of casting aspersions, why does he not get back to talking
about the economy."
In a statement Lord Freud, a former banker who has been a minister in the
Department for Work and Pensions since 2010, offered a "full and unreserved
apology".
"I was foolish to accept the premise of the question," he said.
"To be clear, all disabled people should be paid at least the minimum wage,
without exception, and I accept that it is offensive to suggest anything
else."
Lord Freud said he "cared passionately" about disabled people and was proud
"to have played a full part in a government that is fully committed to
helping disabled people overcome the many barriers they face in finding
employment".
The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said it was important to understand
the context of the conversation and that Lord Freud was not arguing for a
new policy of routinely paying people less than the minimum wage.
He said one interpretation of Lord Freud's comments was that he was
"thinking aloud" but suggestions that the minimum wage could be undercut
would seem "heartless" and come back to "haunt him".
Analysis: By Damon Rose, Ouch!
Unemployment for disabled people has remained stubbornly around 50% for over
twenty years despite schemes and incentives. It's perhaps understandable
that Lord Freud might want to think outside the box to allow desperate
disabled people to shine and get a real job with a real (if low) wage which
for some may be preferable to remaining at home, isolated, looking forward
to a life on benefits.
If disabled people could charge less for their time, they might get a job
more easily... but it could also send out unhelpful messages and devalue all
disabled workers.
Suggesting that disabled people may not be worthy of what's deemed to be a
"minimum" wage is seen by campaigners as unacceptable, as Conservative MP
Philip Davies found to his cost in 2011. Equal rights, equal pay are bound
up in law and feel right and just.
Lord Freud sounds like he was raising an important debate, but has muddied
the waters with what sounds like disrespectful language. And as a minister
responsible for controversial welfare reforms, campaigners have been quick
to claim it is a troubling insight into how he thinks.
Disabled affairs minister Esther McVey told the BBC that the comments were
"wrong" and could not be justified.
And the Liberal Democrats said what Lord Freud said was "completely
unacceptable".
A former adviser to the last Labour government, Lord Freud has been closely
involved in the coalition's implementation of major benefits changes, such
as the replacement of the disability living allowance with the personal
independence payment and the rollout of Universal Credit, a consolidated
single payment designed to encourage work.
Mr Scott, a councillor in Kent, defended Lord Freud's response, saying there
were examples where the minimum wage "precludes a small number of physically
or mentally disabled from working".
He suggested the minister did not intend to "undermine the minimum wage but
thinks a system to reward them would help their own well-being by getting
them into work".

MUMBAI: All the new EVMs in Thane will this time have information embossed
on them in Braille, making the process easier for the visually impaired

embossed on them. This is for the first time we are using them," said
Madhavi Sardeshmukh and easier had they been provide with audio
