September 4, 2023
September 4th is International Sexual Health Day, a day of awareness promoting global advocacy to advance sexual health and well-being for all individuals. Sexual health is an integral part of human health, with particular importance for LGBTI+🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ communities, as it underscores the importance of comprehensive sexual health education, access to healthcare services, and the eradication of discrimination and stigma. For LGBTI+🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ individuals, who often face unique challenges related to sexual health, the right to sexual health is denied as they encounter high levels of discrimination due to sexual orientation and gender identity. International Sexual Health Day is an opportunity to promote understanding and acceptance, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, have access to the support and resources needed to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
