Sexual Rights

While there is no international treaty on “Sexual Rights,” these rights embrace human rights that are already recognized in national laws and international human rights treaties.  They include:

• The right to receive and impart information related to sexuality.
• The right to consensual sexual relations.
• The right to decide whether or not and when to have children.
• The right to bodily integrity.
• The right to choose your sexual partner(s).
• The right to pursue a satisfying, safe and pleasurable sexual life.

The Sexual Rights Working Group explores the intersections between rights issues as they relate to women's rights, the right to health, the right to self-expression, and the right to be free from torture, to name a few.  The intersectional nature of these rights means that the working group is open to funders from a variety of different affinity groups including; Funders for Lesbian and Gay Issues, Funders Concerned about AIDS, and the Funders Network for Population, Reproductive Health and Rights.

The group also maintains a list serve that all funders are welcome to join.
