World Sexual Health Day (WSHD) is an annual awareness day managed by the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS). As a global advocacy organization, WAS is dedicated to promoting best practices in sexual health.
Taking place on September 6th, WSHD aims to dismantle social and cultural taboos surrounding sexuality while advocating for positive sexual health worldwide. This year, the theme for WSHD 2023 is Consent – highlighting its importance as a fundamental aspect of any healthy sexual encounter.
We strive to educate ourselves and others about what consent means, how to express it, and how to obtain it.
