Description
The aim of the session is to highlight challenges and opportunities in overcoming the barriers to advancing the sexual and reproductive health and rights of sexual and gender diverse people, including LGBTIQ+ people. The purpose is to share knowledge and to inspire change and action on the ground.
Being sexual and/or gender non-conforming are no longer mental illnesses internationally. However, sexual health varies depending on the stigma from homophobia, heteronormativity and transphobia and legal situations such as criminalization. The result is often that the health and rights of sexual and gender diverse people are unmet and unfulfilled.
