CELEBRATE SEXUAL HEALTH
World Sexual Health Day (WSHD), observed annually on September 4, is led by the World Association for Sexual Health (WAS)—a global organization committed to building a world where everyone can access sexual health, rights, justice, and pleasure.
As part of this year’s WSHD, we strive to advance WAS’s mission by encouraging awareness and open conversation around the theme: Sexual Justice: What Can We Do? This theme underscores the vital need for equity, autonomy, and inclusion in all dimensions of sexual health and rights.
