Sexual Freedom September

What is Sexual Freedom September?

Sexual freedom is a human right. It means having the freedom to define, explore and experience your own sexuality as you want, without fear of repression or violence.

But women and girls aren’t free to express themselves sexually. SheDecides believes that by Standing Up and Speaking Out together, we can challenge these harmful norms that restrict our sexual freedom.

From 22-29 September 2021, SheDecides will bring activist voices together in an online moment to celebrate sexuality, to demand access to contraceptives and action to end unsafe abortion.

Why September? Because this week marks three international days linked to restrictions placed on women and girls’ sexual freedom:

Sexuality: Bisexual Visibility Day (23 September)
Contraception: World Contraception Day (26 September)
Abortion: International Safe Abortion Day (28 September)

What is happening?

The launch of the latest SheDecides card deck!

The cards feature questions and statements on sexuality, contraception and abortion to spark conversations, break silences and raise voices about the right to sexual freedom!

From 22-29 September @SheDecidesGFI will share the cards, along with activist stories and tips for organising.
