Diversity in women’s sexual health and wellbeing

Achieving gender equity in sexual health outcomes is crucial to empower all people to have healthy, enjoyable, and safe sexual lives. There are a range of impactful, innovative and community-driven initiatives that are aimed at overcoming stigma, discrimination and power imbalances to enhance the sexual health of women. 

This International Women’s Day, the Kirby Institute is bringing together a group of health experts to speak about their work to improve sexual health among diverse groups of women, and to reflect on how we can leverage this work to bring us closer to equitable sexual health and wellbeing.
