It is the characteristic of things that are easy to understand (Real Patronato sobre Discapacidad, 2019, p. 92). Especially for people with intellectual disabilities, it is important that contents and the way they are communicated be clear, precise, and simple. This way, everyone can acquire the information that they need in order to participate in society and make decisions.
For example, comprehensive sexuality education is essential to empowering all women and young people, including those with disabilities. Thus, we must create spaces where people can learn about and discuss their sexual and reproductive health and rights in a safe, supportive, and educational way (UNFPA – WEI, 2018), that adapts to the pace and way of understanding of some persons with disabilities.
