Sexual assistance - activity in which professionals provide sexual services to people with disabilities - is a pioneering research topic in Portugal. At the European level there are associations that promote sexual assistance in several countries and in some of them it is a recognized service. In Portugal there is no association created for this purpose. However, sex workers provide sex services to clients with disabilities. To address the interest of some people with physical disabilities in resorting to sexual assistance, the research team, whom has a vast experience in the study of different axes of social oppression, identified the need to understand social representations of Portuguese population concerning sexual assistance and to start an informed debate in order to outline public policy recommendations.
