This study has as its object the perspectives of deaf women on their sexual and reproductive health. Objectives: to describe the situations experienced by deaf women in terms of their sexual and reproductive health; discuss how deafness influences the sexual/reproductive health of deaf women from their own perspective; to analyze the vulnerabilities of deaf women considering their experiences in the context of their sexual and reproductive health. Methodology: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, with the participation of 23 deaf women over 18 years old, who communicate through Brazilian Sing Language (Libras) living in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The study scenario was the National Institute of Education for the Deaf through the Snowball technique. Data were collected through open, individual and recorded interviews and data analysis was based on the dimensions of Ayres' vulnerability using Bardin's technique. The ethics committee under CAAE 64271316.2.0000.0055 approved the study. After the analysis, it was possible to identify two thematic categories: “Social Discrimination due to deafness: invisibility of the condition of woman” and “Influences of deafness on sexual and reproductive health”. Results: deaf women are discriminated against and, depending on the condition of deafness, they become invisible when it comes to gender issues. The lack of knowledge of these women about their sexuality and about their sexual and reproductive health is notorious. The non-recognition of the exercise of their sexuality, as well as the communication difficulties with society, prevented the acquisition of information and the access to health services, especially those of sexual and reproductive health. Deaf women live in a situation of social exclusion and, therefore, the acquisition of information on these topics was conditioned to other people, such as family members, other deaf people and even the church.
