11 years ago, during a trip to Brazil, Catarina Oliveira suffered a sudden inflammation in her spinal cord, with no known cause. In a few days, what started as a mild back pain evolved into total loss of movement in her legs, leading her to start using a wheelchair.
Catarina transformed this life experience into a career in activism and content creation for social media, where she openly addresses topics that continue to be taboo in society.
The advocate emphasizes that the theme of sexuality is rarely addressed with people with disabilities, as if they did not have sexuality. This silence is even more profound in the case of people with intellectual disabilities.
Catarina is one of the participants in the project "The Pleasure Is All Mine," where she shares her perspective on these taboo subjects.
