Your Rights Individuals with disabilities are more likely to experience domestic violence and sexual assault. Here's what you need to know: You have the right to understand your body and sexuality. You have the right to be treated with respect and dignity. You have the right to decide who can touch your body in any way. You have the right to feel safe where you live and work. You have the right to say "no" if someone is doing something you don't want - even if that person is someone you know or like.
