Defining sexual health
Report of a technical consultation on sexual health, 28–31 January 2002, Geneva
In response to the changing environment, WHO, in collaboration with the World Association for Sexology (WAS), began a collaborative process1 to reflect on the state of sexual health globally and define the areas where WHO and its partners could provide guidance to national health managers, policy-makers and care providers on how better to address sexual health. As in 1975, the process began with a review of key terminology and of the evidence, and culminated in the convening of a large group of experts from around the world to discuss the state of sexual health globally.
