The Planned Parenthood of Delaware (PPDE) has launched a new series of sex education videos made for Deaf middle and high school students. These videos are in American Sign Language (ASL), and help to educate Deaf students of important topics such as consent, body image, birth control, STIs, and sexual identity.

Domestic violence against people with disabilities is a serious issue in the country, with 40% of women with disabilities experiencing physical violence after age 15, compared to 26% of women without disabilities.

Reports of physical and sexual abuse are up to 20 times higher for Deaf individuals. The study says that abusers often take advantage of their victim's deafness to make them more vulnerable, harder to report the abuse, and less believable.
