Why Sexual Health Day matters
Sexual and reproductive health is still not fully included in the Millennium -Development goalsAlthough sexual health -related problems are among the Top 10 causes of death in countries with a low income.
For professionals in the field of sexual health care, the insight into the worldwide landscape, how sexual rights are framed and what this means for your work is essential.

Sexual rights: Everyone can enjoy sexual health, rights and pleasure free of fear, shame or discrimination.
Sexual and reproductive rights: Physical autonomy and reproductive choices must be promoted and protected for everyone.
LGBTQ+ Adolescents: Transgender, Gender-Diverse, Gay & Lesbian Youth: Rights for all identities must be confirmed and protected, including and strengthen the voices of those who have been marginalized.
Access to information: Fighting wrong information with accurate, evidence-based information
